Preface to The Murder Rule

A more rigorous Introduction to The Murder Rule is forthcoming.

Using three parts, with each part utilizing characters that make up support or main characters within The Prodigal Band Trilogy, this ‘spin-off’ novel attempts to expose what I have discovered to be a ‘conspiracy’—a truthful one—within the hallmarks of powerful institutions and industries, with focus on the entertainment industry. As with The Prodigal Band Trilogy, those within the entertainment or popular culture industries that fail to ‘toe the line’ set forth by the captains of those industries stand an excellent chance of being ‘cancelled,’ so to speak. Further, those on the fringes of these industries that expose the evil within these industries are also targets, which, in Part Two, includes a rock band roadie that also joins the same cult of which this band are members. Finally, those in industry ‘elite’ circles who turn against ‘the agenda’ of the ‘rulers’ of both the industry and the world in general, even those within elite family bloodlines, are not exempt from danger.

In this novel, I call this ‘danger’ ‘the murder rule.’

In the third novel of The Prodigal Band Trilogy, called The Prodigal Band, is the opening line of the novel—“If dead rock stars could talk.”

In other words, rock stars and others within the pop culture industry that turn against their ‘rulers,’ having realized they partook in evil activities on- and off-stage and inside and outside the recording studio and also partook in debauched lifestyles even to the point of life-crisis, have fallen victim to the consequences of no longer ‘toeing the line.’ Recent examples include Linkin Park’s Chester Bennington and Sound Garden’s Chris Cornell, both of whom, being close friends within rival bands, set out to expose pedophilia rings in and out of the entertainment industry, and more. The false ‘narrative’ claims they committed ‘suicide by doorknob.’ Can one truly hang themselves on a doorknob? I don’t think so! My conclusion is that both were murdered for wanting to expose pedophile rings. Unfortunately, dead rock stars cannot ‘talk.’ If they could, they would expose the truth of it.

But The Murder Rule also features characters affiliated with entertainers who know and want to expose the truth if the evil in the industry. One is a roadie and fan of the prodigal band who joins a cult only to leave the cult upon discovering its evil and thus risks ‘the murder rule.’ Another is the prodigal band manager who never truly went along with the evil agenda that happened to be ruled over by his own father!

To expose evil, but not by giving speeches or lectures or using the tools for videos. To expose evil by utilizing the writing talent God gave me…part of my ‘mission of God’ so to speak, is why I wrote this novel.
