You think you know what happened that day But what if you re wrong?
Everyone remembers where they were when they heard that AJ Silver had died. In summer 1996, there was no avoiding the story that America's biggest teen pop sensation had plunged to his death on a rollercoaster at a family-run amusement park in rural England.
Now, 27 years have passed, and even if you re too young to remember the event you ve probably heard AJ Silver's songs topping the charts again. So what better time to take a forensic look at what happened that summer?
I ve spent hundreds of hours interviewing everyone who was there that fateful day: workers, friends, family the people who gained from his death, and the people who lost everything.
But you re going to want to pay attention. Because I ve found out a secret. One you re all going to want to know Perhaps it wasn t such an accident after all?
A truly unique and unforgettable story with more twists and turns than a rollercoaster. You ll be gripped! Order now!
