Los Angeles writer Leslie Bohem releases an explosive new novel about the rock and roll life.

Nashville, TN – Upper Rubber Boot Books announces the release of the Leslie Bohem’s book Flight 505, a rock and roll road trip thriller. The story follows three former bandmates, one a mega-star, one a heroin junkie, and one living a quiet suburban life, and chronicles the killer consequences of their reunion.

“I am tremendously excited about Les’ book,” said Joanne Merriam, the Publisher. “We are incredibly proud to publish the work of such a passionate and exciting new talent.”

Legendary post-punk rocker Johnette Napolitano called the book “a great read,” and said, “if you weren’t in L.A. back in the ’80s… well, this is what it was like.”
