The evocatively written biography unravels the mystery that was Lennon's personality and presents a complete portrait of him - comprehensive information about his life, his loves, his music, his untimely death, and the legacy he left us. The author carefully observes what life experiences shaped Lennon, and which of his personality traits led to the fact that he lived in exile in New York before his violent death. But what if the "real" John Lennon had died long before? Who or what actually killed John Lennon? The four bullets that entered his body from the gun of assassin Mark Chapman on December 8, 1980, may have only completed the work of destruction.

The author portrays Lennon as an extremely gifted, thoughtful and sensitive artist, as a complicated and flawed personality who paid for the pressure of his talent and fame, but also as a troubled son, husband and father. Readers are offered a sensitive, honest and courageous portrait of one of the world's most enduring legends, but also an intimate look at the women and men in his life. The book contains a number of newly discovered information as well as data from the author's interviews with people who knew Lennon best.
