''The Night John Lennon Died ... so did John Doe is a great page turner -- an international work not only because of John Lennon but also for the humanity of all its characters. The suspense of the deaf man's death develops beautifully and opens that silent world to the reader.'' --Georges LeClere, former media director, United Nations, former president of the International Emmys

''In the chilling story behind the murder of Imagine, Burns-Bisogno and Shohen unshackle Lennon from myth. It's here that we all mourn for a brother -- a dreamer like the John Doe who is murdered that same night.'' --Manuela Metri, president, Red Box Productions
