Not Fade Away: Jim Dodge

Floorboard George Gastin is part of an insurance scam to wreck a pure white, mint condition `59 Cadillac originally intended for The Big Bopper as a token of an admirer`s love. But Floorboard George has other ideas and when he disappears with the car, gangsters and cops are soon in hot pursuit.
On the road, the crazy characters, hitch-hikers and demented preachers he meets provide the high-octane entertainment as George covers many miles - and states of mind - in his quest to find the true spirit of rock `n` roll.
