Summer 1980. For the first time in many years, John Lennon is creating new musical compositions and preparing to record them. He's full of energy and ready to start over with a clean slate, and he can't wait to show the world these fresh songs. At the same time, Mark Chapman quits his security job and boards a flight to New York with a gun and bullets hidden in his luggage. In a few months, an irreparable event will occur, after which the world will no longer be the same. “The Last Days of John Lennon” is a tragic story of the decline of the life of a great star, told by James Patterson, an American thriller and detective writer. He conducted dozens of interviews with Lennon's friends and associates, including Paul McCartney, to remain as impartial and honest as possible in his role as the author of this book. The publication reproduces in detail those days of 1980, which were destined to become fatal. The days when two personalities collided - and five shots changed the course of history and made the hearts of millions of people tremble.
