Written as the official biography of Jerry Lee Lewis in the early nineties, Killer! was discontinued as a project by publishers Random Century because contractual obligations were not met by all parties. Only enough copies were sold to pay for the first print run - the rest were pulped. Now rights have reverted to author Charles 'Dr Rock' White, fans can at last read the definitive Jerry Lee Lewis story.

The greatest Southern storyteller of our time, New York Times bestselling author Rick Bragg, tracks down the greatest rock and roller of all time, Jerry Lee Lewis - and gets his own story, from the source, for the very first time. A monumental figure on the American landscape, Jerry Lee Lewis spent his childhood raising hell in Ferriday, Louisiana, and Natchez, Mississippi; galvanized the world with hit records like ''Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On'' and ''Great Balls of Fire,'' that gave rock and roll its devil's edge; caused riots and boycotts with his incendiary performances; nearly scuttled his career by marrying his thirteen-year-old second cousin - his third wife of seven; ran a decades-long marathon of drugs, drinking, and women; nearly met his maker, twice; suffered the deaths of two sons and two wives, and the indignity of an IRS raid that left him with nothing but the broken-down piano he started with; performed with everyone from Elvis Presley to Keith Richards to Bruce Springsteen to Kid Rock - and survived it all to be hailed as ''one of the most creative and important figures in American popular culture and a paradigm of the Southern experience.'' Jerry Lee Lewis: His Own Story is the Killer's life as he lived it and as he shared it over two years with our greatest bard of Southern life, Rick Bragg. Rich with Lewis' own words, framed by Bragg's richly atmospheric narrative, this is the last great untold rock-and-roll story, come to life on the page.
