Janie’s Got a Gun: Crime Fiction Inspired by the Music of Aerosmith

With a career spanning over 50 years, Aerosmith has been a trend-setter in the world of rock and roll. From early hits such as ＂Dream On＂ and ＂Sweet Emotion＂ to their legendary collaboration with Run DMC for a cover of ＂Walk This Way＂ to their contribution of ＂Don’t Wanna Miss a Thing＂ on the soundtrack for Armageddon, Aerosmith has proved time and again to be a band capable of reinvention and constant influence on the music scene.

With their 2024 announcement that the band will no longer tour, 16 crime fiction authors have come together to produce an anthology paying tribute to some of Aerosmith’s greatest hits and their studio albums.
