KILL ME TENDER (Review)

The King is back! With his fan club presidents dying mysteriously, Elvis steps in to find the killer ... Back from his tour of duty in Germany-and desperately missing his Mamma-Elvis Aron Presley just isn't turned on by the music anymore. Not the way he used to be. Between dealing with his Machiavellian manager, the hangers-on and childhood pals crowding his Graceland mansion, and his own propensity for gobbling down fried peanut butter and banana sandwiches, the King tries desperately to get his heart back into Rock and Roll. But how can the King sing when young girls-the presidents of his fan clubs-are dying all over Tennessee? Elvis suspects foul play. To prove it, and to find the killer, he'll need to navigate the resentment, squareness, and bigotry that hound-dog him at every turn. Only by allying himself with a self-taught doctor in a small black community, his alluring-and forbidden-nurse, and a mysterious early Elvis impersonator, can Presley hope to Take Care of Business in time to save the next victim ...

BLUE SUEDE CLUES

Nineteen sixty-three. Elvis Presley has just completed filming Kissin' Cousins, a hillbilly romantic comedy of which he is instantly ashamed. His romance with Ann-Margret has just become public knowledge, and Priscilla is on the warpath. It is a critical period for Elvis, a time in which he must sort out his own contradictory feelings and make life-changing choices. Against this backdrop, one "Squirm" Littlejon, an old army friend, contacts Elvis. Littlejon is serving life in a California penitentiary for the murder of a young actress on the MGM lot, and he insists he was framed. Elvis figures that taking the case is just what he needs to escape all those people making demands of him, both professionally and romantically. So begins a fast-paced mystery train ride that takes Elvis from the weird world of movie stuntmen to a groundbreaking genetics laboratory in Mexico. His sidekick on this adventure is Squirm's deadbeat, Freud-spouting lawyer, who has personal insight into the psychological quirks of surviving twins - like Elvis. Before he's through, Elvis will have to disprove a murder charge of his own and stop a diabolical film producer from publishing career wrecking Peeping Tom photographs of Elvis and Ann-Margret making love.
