Dead Star Island by Andrew Shantos
Sixteen superstars the world thinks are dead. One killer, determined to finish the job...Somewhere in the Indonesian archipelago is a tropical island paradise with some very unusual residents...Elvis, Marilyn, Jimi and others have been living for decades in peace and anonymity on Dead Star Island. But someone is murdering them, one by one, in bizarre reconstructions of their previous deaths. Mario Gunzabo was once Greece's top detective. Now a one-armed tennis coach living in southeast England, he receives an unexpected call from his old school friend, Christian Adhis, Director of Dead Star Island. Gunzabo is secretly transported to the island, with two simple instructions: First - catch the Deja Vu Killer before he strikes again. Second - don't get too drunk in the process.
"This quirky read imagines 16 superstars the world thought were dead thrown together on an Indonesian archipelago along with a killer and a one-armed detectiveA trippy page turner." (Sunday Mirror);"A hefty dose of wacky conspiracy theory... fun, and clever, and very original." (Alice's Adventures In Bookland);"A confident, bold debut" (Club Life Magazine);"This is beautifully written fiction: well plotted, with a real sense of style and more than a hint of the downright bizarre... The mystery at the heart of the novel is intriguing, and whilst it is all very entertaining with Gunzabo at the head of the investigation, what mustn't be forgotten, is that this is also a rather dark, twisted and highly energetic murder mystery." (Jaffa Reads Too);"One of the more memorable detective stories I have read for many a year... a gem of a story." (grabthisbook.net)
Andrew Shantos always knew he wanted to write, but he didn't have an idea for a book. After scraping through his Maths degree by the skin of a Rizla, he helped his father launch Highway Electrical News, a magazine about street lighting which nearly featured as the guest publication on Have I Got News For You. In his twenties, Andrew left a number of bands due to artistic differences, helping him to really focus on his writing. Finally, three years ago, on a beach in Cyprus, Andy was thrilled to finally come up with an idea that combined his love of music, dead rock stars and ferrets, though his wife claims the idea was actually hers.They live in Brighton with their two small children and have almost settled the argument.
