This is one of my favorites books, because it combines two of my favorite subjects ( Elvis Presley and Conspiracy theories). I love the plot laying out the theory that Elvis with the help of the FBI faked his own death to help the FBI catch a crooked Organization that had swindled Vernon Presley ( Elvis s dad) out of millions of dollars. That theory has been around for years, the author was able to make the story believable by adding a DEA agent to help Elvis. In real life Elvis had received a DEA badge from President Nixon. Another great character in this book was the young Elvis impersonator and his sister. The plot was awesome and I loved how the author was able to create a real dramatic and fitting ending to the book.

Suspicious Minds

Rock a Billy, rock and roll,long sideburns, and a sexy grin make an Elvis inspired tale of Elvis impersonators the long invisible arm of the law. DEA, FBI, and other law enforcement groups hunt for drug lords, children's underground railway and alligators in tunnels keep the pace at warp drive. An accidental mistake at a funeral and nobody really knows who is dead. This book is meant to read wearing adult diapers for the hilarity of sheer enjoyment and characters. Must Read!

This was a great book for me because it was about Elvis and conspiracies. Both of them are my favorites. The story says that Elvis faked his own death to go undercover to help the FBI catch a Drug Kingpin. Elvis is helped by a DEA agent who has gone Rogue. Another great character introduced was a young Elvis impersonator and his older sister who is a Police Detective. They all come together escaping death and stopping the Bad guys. A great Ending to a great book

Great read! Interesting characters, fun twists, lots of action. What's not to love about that many Elvis impersonators in one spot?

I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Not many books keep me up reading these days, but I found this one hard to put down.
