Review

"...well-plotted, full of ripe, entertaining characters, well-paced and funny enough to make you laugh out loud..." -- The Baton Rouge Advocate

"Chasing Elvis is a fun novel with more twists and turns than a Six Flags roller coaster." -- blogcritic.org, July 2005

I found CHASING ELVIS totally absorbing. This book is begging for a film version! A must for all Elvis fans. -- Ear Candy Magazine, December 2004

Product Description

Elvis died in 1977, or did he?

In 1982 an Elvis impersonator clumsily robs a bank, and incredibly all of the evidence points to the supposedly deceased Elvis as being the robber. A detective hot on the trail of the robber is convinced that he is chasing Elvis, but is killed in an accidental car crash near Moscow, Tennessee, leaving behind a five-year-old daughter. Twenty years later, the daughter is a tabloid reporter for Weird Magazine, a shameless, check-out counter rag. She is assigned to cover an Elvis Festival in Moscow, discovers her father’s notes, and quickly stumbles onto the Elvis-robber’s trail.

What she discovers in rural Tennessee just may be the news story of the young century.

5.0 out of 5 stars Facinating and fun historical fiction on Elvis, November 24, 2004

By	James Crain (Tennessee) - See all my reviews

The premise of this hysterical, tightly written historical fiction is facinating: Five years after Elvis allegedly died an Elvis impersonator robs a bank. All of the clues lead the investigating detective to believe the culprit was the supposedly dead Elvis. The detective dies in a car crash as he is about to capture "Elvis." His daughter picks up the trail in the present day. Is she on Elvis' trail? The characters are quirky and clearly etched, the dialogue is snappy and the plot twists are incredible. It was hard to put this wonderfully funny book down.
