Floorboard George Gastin is part of an insurance scam to wreck a
pure white, mint condition '59 Cadillac originally intended for The
Big Bopper as a token of an admirer's love. But Floorboard George
has other ideas and when he disappears with the car, gangsters and
cops are soon in hot pursuit. On the road, the crazy characters,
hitch-hikers and demented preachers he meets provide the
high-octane entertainment as George covers many miles - and states
of mind - in his quest to find the true spirit of rock 'n' roll.
On 15 April 1989, the world witnessed one of the worst football
disasters in history occur at the Hillsborough Stadium in
Sheffield. 96 people were crushed to death and another 766 injured
in a tragedy that was later admitted to have been exacerbated by
police failures. Hillsborough Voices does justice to the memory of
all those who died and for all those left behind. From the tragic
events of the day to what unfolded in the hours, days and
eventually years that followed, the book will interweave the voices
of those who were there with the families and friends of those who
died, and all those who have played key roles in the long search
for the truth. The author, Kevin Sampson, has a long history with
Hillsborough. Not only was he there as a fan to witness the horror
first-hand, he also helped organise the Hillsborough benefit
concert at Anfield and has close connections with the justice
campaign. He has conducted exhaustive and exclusive interviews both
with people who have become familiar public figures and those who
will be telling their heart-rending personal stories for the first
time - to bring us the full story. The book will be fully endorsed
and promoted by the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and will carry
the official HJC logo.
