Peter Doherty embodies the ultimate rock 'n' roll saga, captivating audiences since The Libertines achieved global fame. This account presents his perspective for the first time, positioning him alongside iconic figures like the early Rolling Stones and Sid Vicious as a notorious bad boy. To his devoted fans, he is a cult hero, a modern rebel Rimbaud. His career elicits mixed reactions; while he garners accolades like "Greatest Hero of Rock," he also faces harsh criticism. Musically, he has profoundly influenced British rock 'n' roll over the past two decades through his distinctive sound, lyrics, and lifestyle, often overshadowed by the controversies surrounding him since his 2003 imprisonment. His tumultuous life features hard drugs, personal losses, intimate performances, and grand stadium shows, alongside notable collaborations. The narrative delves into his artistic ventures, relationships—including his iconic romance with supermodel Kate Moss—and his musings on poetry, philosophy, and politics. With trademark wit, Doherty candidly addresses his struggles with addiction, multiple jail sentences, and family estrangement, reflecting on his journey with honesty and a sense of resilience, particularly in his recent reconciliation with his father after years of distance.

It's race time in Indianapolis, and the only thing hotter than the action on the track is the passion boiling outside of the stadium walls. Local Grendel chief Hack has his hands full. Between the volatile visiting Grendel clans tearing up the town, a mysterious vigilante on a Grendel-killing spree, and forces within his own clan that seek to depose him, there's little room for error or emotion. But when he feels himself falling for Dana, the city hospital's headstrong lead physician, he quickly finds things spiraling out of his control. And he's not the only one with problems. Dana's struggling with her delinquent son, desperately trying to keep him away from the very Grendel that she herself is growing ever attracted to.
