Junior Bender is back, and he's got one foot in the worst aspect of the sixties -- some of the lamest rock and roll ever inflicted upon the world.
Junior is forced by a corrupt cop to go to the rescue of an old record producer, a guy who, in the sixties, grabbed handsome boys off of Philadelphia stoops and turned them into little Elvises for six months to a year, until the fans got tired of them. A supermarket-tabloid journalist has been murdered on Hollywood Boulevard, and the cops think the music producer did it because, well, he was scouting for a hit man. The producer swears that somebody else got to the journalist first. The story takes Junior into the arena of old-time rock and roll, missing persons, the world's oldest still-dangerous gangster, a murderer of young women, and a terrifying if somewhat hapless hit man named Fronts. There's even a love interest for Junior. Well, a serious like interest, anyway -- for now.
