The Unholy Gatekeeper (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780646714295)

A novel by K.J C

He made stars. Then the stars burned out - and so did he.

Ben Holloway spent decades shaping the voices of the music industry - discovering raw talent, signing legends, and watching them rise... and fall. But behind every platinum record and industry handshake lies a man haunted by the dreams he sold and the ones he lost along the way. Once an artist himself, now a broken gatekeeper of other people's fame, Ben is a ghost in the business he once tried to change.

With one final deal on the table and the promise of escape just a signature away, Ben is ready to disappear - until he hears that voice. A sound that cuts through the noise and wakes something buried deep within him.

But chasing redemption means facing the past: a lost love, a forgotten letter, and the artists he couldn't save. In a world built to chew up and spit out the real ones, Ben must decide if there's still time to fight for what matters - or if the last note has already been played.

A gritty, emotionally charged novel about music, regret, and the brutal beauty of staying true to yourself.
For the ones who risk everything to be heard - and the ones who listen.
