Book Description
It's 1970 in the glamorous heart of Paris. Moonlight, music, and murder collide in smoky backstreets, shimmering on champagne flutes like a soft, French kiss tainted with danger. Clyde thought he'd finally escaped his violent past, building a sanctuary with his love, Moonbeam--their jazz club a beacon fueled by the rhythm of a new life, not the echoes of old bloodshed. Paris was meant to be Clyde's escape, a chance to build a new life. But enemies resurface like ghosts, shattering the fragile peace. As the Red Liberation Front unleashes its deadly agenda, the man who craves the quiet melody of jazz and the warmth of cognac must choose--remain the peaceful soul he yearns to be--or resurrect the ruthless killer he can't seem to escape. With his club, his employees, and the woman who brings light to his world in the crosshairs, every note played on stage becomes a desperate heartbeat for Clyde. As the Red Liberation Front unleashes terror, can he outwit his enemies, outpace his own darkness, before it engulfs them all?

Book Description
Werner Herzog came to fame in the 1970s as the European new wave explored new cinematic ideas. With films like Signs of Life (1968); Aguirre, the Wrath of God (1972); The Enigma of Kaspar Hauser (1974); and Fitzcarraldo (1982), Herzog became the subject of public debate, particularly due to his larger than life characters, often played by the wild Klaus Kinski. After the success of his documentary Grizzly Man (2005), Herzog became a leading force in a new form of hybrid documentary, and his tough attitude toward life and film made him a director’s director for a new generation of aspiring filmmakers. Kristoffer Hegnsvad’s award-winning book guides the reader through films depicting gangster priests, bear whisperers, shoe eating, revolutionary filmmakers . . . and a penguin. It is full of rare insights from Herzog’s otherwise secretive Rogue Film School, and features interviews with Herzog.
