In the early hours of the 3rd July 1971, Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, supposedly died of heart failure in a bath tub at 17 Rue Beautreillis, in the 4th Arrondissement of Paris. He was just 27 years old. There was no autopsy.

Wild and original Morrison was the dark-side of flower-power. A tortured and tormented soul who drank alcohol to excess and explored his own poetry through a prolonged derangement of the senses. A highly intelligent thinker he strode forward to slake his thirst for danger, chaos, and artistic freedom.

Today he remains forever young in the eyes of generations that never saw him perform. What was once a man has now become a mythical icon of the 1960's counter- culture.

While other groups of the 1960's often sound 'of their time'. The Doors music sounds as fresh and inventive as the day it was recorded. Their influence on popular culture and pop music extends into the Punk movement of the 1970's and even into later Hip Hop and Rap. Jim Morrison's legacy made  'stars' of groups such as the Stooges and the infamous Iggy Pop. Even The Sex Pistols owe much to Morrison for his outrageous stance against authority, in the pursuit for personal freedom. But was he happy in himself? Had he simply had enough of the 'The Lizard King' character he had created? Did he simply want to disappear? 

              What happened to Jim Morrison ?

Life-long Doors fan and crime novelist Ron Clooney has created a novel that skilfully blends fact with fiction to ask simple but vital questions. This novel gives voice to the ultimate possibility that journalists and investigators have missed; by scrutinising what happened on that fateful night and in the weeks leading up to it. And more importantly, it examines what happened afterwards. Ron does what others have dared not do, open the past as if it were a criminal investigation.

'Suicide ? Accident, at the hands of girlfriend's heroin? Murder by the CIA? Simple heart attack? Or a complete and utter hoax?' 

'I look into the complex mind of Jim Morrison and explore the nature of his relationship with Pamela Courson so I can answer one of pop's greatest mysteries: What really happened the night Jim Morrison is supposed to have died?'

'All you have to do is tick off the possibilities to see that it is all perfectly plausible.'
