The first time Ben Parker meets Johnny Angel, Ben is blowing bass with Daddy Halloway and the Hot Babies. Angel angles into the band by acing out the drummer. Parker’s got a bad feeling about Angel, but has to hire him anyway. Johnny Angel, raised from the school of hard knocks, doesn’t let anyone or any scruple get in his way. First, he steals Daddy’s band, then he steals his daughter, Blanche. Then WWII happens—Parker serves, but Johnny cops a gay plea and gets out. When Parker gets back he hooks up with a talented but tubercular composer named Con Conners. And a sultry singer, Ginger. But Johnny Angel is right behind him, ready to do whatever it takes to climb to the top on someone else’s talent, be it beg, borrow or steal... even kill. This is the ruthless story of the music business told from the inside, starting from the days of swing jazz to bebop, all the way to rock’n’roll.

About the Author:
Lou Cameron was born in San Francisco on June 20, 1924 to a vaudeville comedian and his vocalist wife. After serving in the army during WWII, Cameron found work illustrating comics before turning to fiction writing in the late 1950s. He wrote a number of movie and TV novelizations, and in the late 1970s created the adult western hero, Longarm, which he wrote under the name “Tabor Evans.” He also penned the Renegade western series as “Ramsay Thorne” and the Stringer series under his own name, eventually winning the Golden Spur award for his western novel, The Spirit Horses. Cameron wrote an estimate of over 300 novels before he passed away in New York City on November 25, 2010. Angel’s Flight was his first published novel.
