I Want to Hold My Hand by James Michael Causey

Daniel Olive is possibly Earth’s 305th greatest Beatles expert. He’s also the well-paid and existentially hollow ghostwriter for a series of bestselling business books.

But it’s not enough, and when he sees an opportunity to expose a Beatles myth – and get himself on the Today Show – he can’t resist no matter who he bruises along the way.
