John Parker researched into J.Edgar Hoover's files on Elvis Presley at FBI headquarters and listened to tape-recorded interviews with members of Presley's entourage. This book examines Elvis's career, his relationships with successive girlfriends and his gradual dependence on prescription drugs. It also offers evidence pointing to his involvement as a victim of a million-dollar sting by the Mafia. He had been due to testify at a special hearing which was expected to expose some of the Mafia members involved in the fraud, but he died the day before, and the book considers the possibility that he was murdered.
