Synopsis

Room 100 chronicles the tragic story of Sid Vicious and Nancy Spungen, punk rock's very own Romeo and Juliet. Through a wealth of archival material, plus new and exclusive interviews from rock luminaries such as Television guitarist Richard Lloyd, iconic photographer Robert Bayley, and PUNK magazine co-creator John Holmstrom, critically acclaimed true-crime writer Jesse P. Pollack's book is the first to be solely devoted to popular music's darkest hour-the murder of Nancy Spungen. Did Sid kill the love of his life in a drug-induced stupor, or had Nancybe en the victim of a robbery gone wrong? Was there a death pact? Did the police ignore crucial evidence? This comprehensive journalistic account will be the definitive book on one of rock 'n roll's most intriguing and enduring mysteries.
