Spiritualized is a raucous rock and roll mystery, part of Victor Levine’s Spec Time Trilogy series of books, which follow the exploits of Jon Cells, an aspiring rock star (based on a real person and real musician).

This novel covers everything from coke deals, to cow mutilations, to New Age Buddhists, to rock stardom, to Hollywood filmmakers, and more in this spirited and literary epic novel.

In each chapter of this delightful little book, author J.Ryan Jones discusses one legal case—everything from personal injury cases to criminal cases to employment discrimination cases — to, well, some even weirder things.
