Gold Medal Winner

Heather Hirschman of Readers’ Favorite Book Reviews writes, “Jim Berkenstadt's thoroughly researched book, Mysteries in the Music, explores rumors and conspiracy theories around some of music’s greatest unanswered questions. In it, he investigates every conceivable avenue open to him, documents historical interviews, and conducts his own with those still alive to answer questions. As an experienced attorney, he makes no assumptions; instead, he sets out to trace and prove facts. The reader is left with no doubt of the veracity of the conclusions he reaches.

Jim Berkenstadt literally ‘Closes Cases.’ He also does it all in a captivating and very often humorous manner. He is clearly passionate about music and this shines through his writing. He has been around for a while, so he is lucky enough to have met many of the people mentioned between these pages. I loved this book and would recommend it to anyone interested in modern music.” 5 STARS *****

***** “The Rock And Roll Detective®, Strikes Again!

Rock and Roll was built on its own crazy mythology, but Jim knows the true stories are likely to be even wilder than the myths. I read this book with great pleasure and fascination, and I have no doubt that you will too!”

YOU CAN JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER

 

Contrary to the popular expression, a good book cover can provide a pictorial expression of the central themes contained within the book.  And, it uses the visual medium to celebrate the very material substance of the book itself.

The new book by Jim Berkenstadt, Mysteries in the Music: Case Closed, coming in March, 2022, examines the secrets, myths, legends, hoaxes, conspiracies, and the wildly inexplicable events that are such an intriguing part of rock and roll history. After many decades, the back stories of pop and rock music lore are finally unearthed—and the truth is revealed in Mysteries in Music: Case Closed.

But the book cover is something very special!

“When it came time to work with my publisher on the book cover, I knew I wanted something that would catch the reader’s eye and also connect them to the intriguing stories inside the book,” says Berkenstadt. “For a number of years I have been an admirer of the classic rock artwork of an artist I met on Instagram. Her name is ZINA.”

ZINA is a London-based artist who is well known for her evocative, passionate paintings of classic rock musicians. Her paintings seem to come alive.

“I paint what excites me, but ultimately I am seduced by music,” says ZINA. The artist explains her creative inspiration, “I paint portraits and subjects that are music related. I try to create meaningful and emotive works in their own right. Always driven by a concept or inspired by a piece of song or poetry.”
 
“It is this creative passion that convinced me her artwork would be perfect for the cover,” says the author. When you look at the portraits of the artists on the cover, you instantly know their identity. Yet, as you look further, you begin to notice and feel interesting new aspects of each Zina portrait. Something intangible and mysterious. 

Berkenstadt reveals: “After ZINA graciously allowed me to license her artwork for the cover, I explained the mysteries behind these four artists and the other mysteries in the book. ZINA agreed to add a visual clue on each of her paintings.”

 
Can you find the clues within each picture? What do they reveal about the mystery inside the book?

They do not give away the solution to each mystery contained within the chapters, but they do provide visual allusions that will pique your interest as you delve inside to read the book.

The book will be published by Genius Books Publishing on March 3, 2022. It will be available at amazon.com, https://geniusbookpublishing.com/
and signed copies will also be available at my author site: www.musicmysterybook.com (Be sure to tell your rock and mystery fans to sign up for email updates).
