Rocket Man is a heartrending memoir that delves into the profound impact of a father's unsolved murder on his son's life. This narrative is more than just a true crime story; it's a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the enduring bond between a father and son.

The narrative begins on February 28th, 2008, when the author, Brett Langley, learns about the brutal murder of his father and his father's friend Jack during a home invasion robbery. Langley's father, a successful vending company owner in Detroit, was known to keep large amounts of cash and cigarettes at home, making his house a target for criminals.

The author, takes us on a journey through his past life during the years he had with his father as a part of his grieving process. The narrative unfolds through a series of reflections on old photos, memories shared during flights back to Detroit, and events in his life at the time.

The narrative reaches a climax when DNA results come back from the crime scene, nine months after the crime, changing the course of the investigation. Langley's story ends with a dream in which he finds himself in his father's house on the night of the crime, able to course correct the events that changed his family's life forever.

It's a story that will resonate with readers who appreciate a well-told memoir, a gripping mystery, and a heartfelt tribute to a loved one.
