Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview:

#1 Elvis hated Goulet, because Goulet had moved in on his girl after Elvis had shipped off to Germany. Elvis wanted to kill him onscreen the moment he appeared in a 1977 television commercial for the show Police Story. He couldn’t miss.

#2 Elvis’s survivor’s guilt and grief were two emotions that constantly ate away at him. He had never felt more alone.

#3 In August 1977, Elvis was saved by the Rolling Stones, who rolled over the competition and misjudged him as a one-hit wonder. He was a culture-shaping phenom on the make.

#4 Elvis’s manager, the Colonel, had been an outsized figure in Elvis’s life since 1955, when his first singles started to crack the charts. The Colonel was a talent manager and not a colonel. He had hoodwinked Jimmie Davis, the Louisiana governor, into bestowing upon him the honorary title of Colonel because he thought it made him seem more American.
