It's tough being the King. Which is why in 1977 Elvis faked his own death and endured massive facial reconstruction surgery, and disappeared from the limelight to live a normal life as the unassuming Aaron King. Unfortunately, leaving fame behind also meant leaving his fortune behind, too, and now Elvis finds himself broke and living in near poverty in a small apartment in Los Angeles. Luckily for him, it turns out he's a pretty good private investigator. Now in his seventies and contemplating a return to music (discreetly, of course), Elvis is hired to solve a baffling missing person case. The King digs deeper, and soon finds himself surrounded by the seedier elements of Los Angeles, from nefarious Hollywood producers who prey upon the young, to twin brothers with a very dark secret. And as Elvis pieces the bizarre puzzle together, he slowly makes his singing comeback@and will be reunited on stage with someone even the King himself never dreamed possible.… (more)

I love Elvis but this was too corny for me. ( )

Spoilers. I wouldn't normally bring this in because it is free on kindle & I don't count those. But I want to say this. This book is very readable, I could barely stop reading to sleep & then I spent time finishing it. It makes no sense, and I try to avoid ugly crime books. I am not accusing the author of anything but I felt like I was reading a Spenser imitation. Not all the time, but the little cracks that Elvis came up with, and the scene with him & his friend exercising at the health club; and there were dialogues between him & his psychiatrist and between him & his sorta girlfriend that I really think were directly patterned on dialogues between Spenser and Susan. So, keep that in mind.
