In 1970, four young men met at a Florida high school and formed a rock band. That band was called Saylyr, and in the next four years their fans packed arenas and put two of their albums at the top of the charts. But in 1974, in the midst of recording a new album, they broke up. Now it's 1989. The four men have-mostly-settled into new lives far away from the music business. Then, for no apparent reason, their music becomes popular again. The record company issues a greatest hits album that sells very well, then releases the album they were working on when they broke up, an album that creates a sensation. So where are they now? Why did they break up? Record executive Shelley Burnside and private detective Jack Slate set out to discover the answers and-they hope-get the band back together for one last concert. But they aren't the only ones looking for the members of Saylyr. Someone from their past wants to find them, too, and make them all very dead. Told in flashbacks, inter-office memos, interview transcripts, newspaper stories, movie script pages, music videos, and record reviews, the novel Saylyr tells a story of friendship, forgiveness and rock 'n roll.
