Dark Star: Confessions of a Rock Idol

A Coming of Age Christian Thriller

Millionaire Rock Star Everett Lester Had It All . . .
His metal band DeathStroke played bars and honkytonks until a NYC record label discovered them and the band experienced a meteoric rise to the top of the record charts — and super-stardom.

Despite Everett’s unfathomable popularity and riches, he was spiraling out of control into a dark existence where everyone wanted a piece of him, and where drugs and alcohol were his only comfort.

When Everett begins to rely on the services of a personal psychic from L.A. for guidance and solace, he gradually finds a sinister form of evil seeping into his fractured life that threatens to end his career — and destroy his existence.

Through it all, he receives uplifting notes from a young lady in Kansas who claims she’s not a fan, but a friend who’s praying for him.

A murder trial ensues and the eyes of the world are watching courtroom B-3 in Miami-Dade County, Florida.

With tension on every page, Amazon #1 Best-Selling author Creston Mapes demonstrates why he is a “Top Pick” among mystery, fiction and thriller lovers.

Fans of DiAnn Mills, Terri Blackstock, Susan Sleeman, Alton Gansky, Karen Kingsbury, and Robin Patchen will love this thriller from award-winning and bestselling author Creston Mapes.

Reader praise for Dark Star

★★★★★ Loved it! What a great book. This is my 5th Creston Mapes book, and I have yet to be disappointed.

★★★★★ My favorite book so far of Creston Mapes. I read a trilogy first that was really good so bought this one to try. I was drawn in quickly to the characters and story line and liked the way it was written like memoirs. Sometimes Christian fiction isn’t a true to life depiction of how one comes to Christ but this definitely was. I plan on getting the next book in the series!

★★★★★ A great read. I don’t read books much, but this book had me begging for more. I just couldn’t put it down. Awesome story from start to finish. Looking forward to reading the next part.

★★★★★ Totally worth the time to read . . . Once I got accustomed to the writing style, I couldn’t put the story down. Author Creston Mapes has earned another follower.

★★★★★ A Must Read. This book personified the battle between God and Satan for our souls. I couldn’t put it down. Can’t wait to read more of his books.

★★★★★ Very inspirational, intriguing, couldn’t put down!

★★★★★ Since I have read Creston Mapes other books and liked his writing I decided to read this one even though I’m not interested in rock stars, but I found this book just as good as his others. Very interesting.

"★★★★★ Total page turner! I especially loved this book because I am a metal fan and was in bands and went to plenty of concerts "back in the day." . . . It's worth noting that I am not a fan of "Christian" entertainment because it's really dorky. I do consider myself to be a Christian and I love the idea of the Spiritual Thriller genre . . . Dark Star is eminently readable. This story rang true to me on many levels. Can't recommend it enough! I'm already 90% through the even more intense sequel."
