Geoffrey David West

Geoffrey David West writes British conspiracy thrillers featuring researcher and investigator Jack Lockwood. Rock’n’Roll Suicide places Lockwood’s inquiry within music history, beginning with questions surrounding singer Maggie O’Kane and a band whose members died decades earlier.

The novel belongs to the Jack Lockwood mystery sequence and establishes the protagonist’s combination of research skills, persistence, and vulnerability. West uses the rock world as more than atmosphere: disputed memories and public legends become material that different characters want to control. Readers approaching Rock’n’Roll Suicide encounter Geoffrey David West’s interest in layered conspiracies and historical echoes, with clues moving between past and present. The result is a mystery about the instability of accepted stories and the danger faced by someone who keeps testing them against overlooked evidence.
