Description

Discover one of the greatest true crime stories in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it.
With the Beatles, John Lennon surpasses his youthful dreams, achieving a level of superstardom that defies classification. “We were the best bloody band there was,” he says. “There was nobody to touch us.” Nobody except the original nowhere man, Mark David Chapman. Chapman once worshipped his idols from afar—but now harbors grudges against those, like Lennon, whom he feels betrayed him. He’s convinced Lennon has misled fans with his message of hope and peace. And Chapman’s not staying away any longer. 
 
By the summer of 1980, Lennon is recording new music for the first time in years, energized and ready for it to be “(Just Like) Starting Over.” He can’t wait to show the world what he will do. 
 
Neither can Chapman, who quits his security job and boards a flight to New York, a handgun and bullets stowed in his luggage. 
 
The greatest true-crime story in music history, as only James Patterson can tell it. Enriched by exclusive interviews with Lennon’s friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, The Last Days of John Lennon is the thrilling true story of two men who changed history: One whose indelible songs enliven our world to this day—and the other who ended the beautiful music with five pulls of a trigger.

    Great telling of a tragic story. I loved the book not because of the great tragedy of his death but the story behind the fullness of the life that John led. The stories of John’s early years along with his relationships with the other Beatles was so interesting. Just prior to his death John was at a point in his life where he truly appeared to be happy with his family, life, and music. What a waste because John had so much more to give.
  • Please....stop.

    It would be great if Patterson would quit selling his name. This book is poor, and I rarely state this, but I want my time back. Keep my money, but please give me my time back for this atrocity.
