Spero's debut novel packs a solid punch in this alternate history of *The Catcher in the Rye* and the assassination of John Lennon. - Amazon reader
In 1980 John Lennon was killed by Mark David Chapman, who believed he was Holden Caulfield, narrator of the classic The Catcher in the Rye. After the shooting, Chapman remained on the scene calmly reading the book, which he later offered to law enforcement as his statement. Catcher's Keeper asks the question: What if Holden had met Chapman, learned of his plan, and tried to prevent the heinous crime?
Catcher's Keeper follows Alden as he discovers that his secret, teenage journal is set to be published by his own brother. While trying to thwart its proliferation, Alden meets MD, a huge fan who interprets Alden's words as instructions to kill a rock music legend. Can Alden stop MD from pulling the trigger? And will Alden find forgiveness for the brother who betrayed him?
Readers of Stephen King's 11-22-63 will enjoy this twist on a momentous event in rock music history!
