IT’S ROCKE ‘N’ ROLL
IT’S ROCKE ‘N’ ROLL
by: David Bedford
Liverpool, 1960, The Beatles, A Murder.
In Liverpool, 1960, a nurse who frequents the legendary Jacaranda Club is murdered. Among the patrons are John Lennon and the fledgling Beatles, the black members of the Caribbean Steel Band from Trinidad, as well as US serviceman from the local American airbase.
Charged with solving the murder is Inspector George Rocke, who has been joined in Liverpool by DS Warwick, a “racist” from London who has been demoted and sent to Liverpool as a punishment. Rocke and Warwick could not be more different, and they argue constantly, but together they must solve the crime.
Set to the back-beat of the emerging Merseybeat scene and the birth of The Beatles, “That’ll Be The Day…………….That I Die” takes you back to the streets of Liverpool and the city that would produce the greatest band of all time. However, in 1960, The Beatles were playing in a strip club for beer money, and Rocke has to interview them about the murder.
Can Rocke solve it? Could this be the end of The Beatles before they get started?
