Elvis may have sung songs like "It's a Wonderful World" and "Fairytale" but this book suggests that Elvis' personal life was all too real, plagued by his own excesses and outside forces apparently driven to exploit him, indeed to a tragic end. This subject matter is very disturbing and FBI file information seems to support such speculation.
However, if we accept that Elvis actually had a terminal illness [reportedly bone cancer] and that his personal conversations foreshadowing his own impending death are true then one must think that his passing was not the result of foul play. Yes, it is reasonable to wonder about the described telephone calls to Washington close to the time of a Grand Jury hearing to address his victimization. But I must reiterate that Elvis Presley's health was possibly in rapid decline and this points to a much more common departure from this realm.

Already some years ago, the FBI made the "Elvis-file" available for the public. It's the best-sold FBI-file in history. Elvis-The Secret Files is based on the FBI files and contains remarkable interpretations from John Parker.

The files contain letters (e.g. from people in 1956 concerned about Elvis' supposed bad influence on the American youth), pictures and other "facts" only interesting for the die-hard Elvisfan. Parker comes up with a theory that it is likely that Elvis has been murdered, perhaps even by the mafia. Elvis was swindled for about $1 million with the redecoration of one of his planes and the planned lease of it. The plan went wrong and Elvis was supposed to testify in a lawsuit against those swindlers at the end of August 1977. Elvis died at August 16, 1977...

Read this book yourself and make up your own mind. One thing is for sure: you won't be bored.
