FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
DATE: 1
November 2015
Sex,
drugs, rock ’n’ roll – and murder. Exciting new crime genre launches
A crime
thriller set in the seedy world of the rock music business has been released by
first-time novelist and long-time media executive, Mark Hollands.
His novel, Amplify, released on Kindle on November
1, introduces anti-hero Billy Lime, an entertainment entrepreneur who risks
losing everything when the lead singer of a band he’s promoting is murdered.
Set in
Sydney, Amplify explores the glitz of
the city’s clubs and pubs, and the dark side of its excessive behaviour.
Billy Lime
must save the tour and find the killer to clear his name.
Hollands
said: “I wanted to create a hard-edged, Australian anti-hero that lovers of
crime thrillers anywhere in the world can relate to.
“Amplify is the first in a series of
Billy Lime adventures. It is set in the present day and anchored in the music
industry rather than a city or region.
“The rock
business delivers a fascinating and contemporary social commentary on the
changes we are all experiencing in the digital content revolution. It’s great
to allow the real world to intersect with a plot that twists and turns with
each chapter.”
Amplify is a
fierce page-turner, edited by Miles Franklin winner Tom Flood.
Hollands was
a long-time journalist with News Corp and is currently Chief Executive of the
industry body, The Newspaper Works.
Amplify: A Billy Lime Thriller is available for Kindle and e-Readers
from Amazon from November 1, 2015. For more details, see the website: www.billylime.com.au or order direct from AmazonKindle.
Mark Hollands
is available for interview.

Just finished reading the book, an enjoyable romp through an industry I've been involved in for the best part of 50 years. I'll be waiting for the next one.
