Rock ‘n Roll Reality Fiction Book

 In the hysterics-fueled tabloid landscape of 1988, Elvis Presley is alive. The death certificate was just a receipt for his freedom—a masterful dodge to exterminate the financial parasites costing him millions a month. He faked the final curtain just to get some goddamn peace.

Hiding in plain sight among dozens of Elvis Impersonators in Las Vegas under the alias "Aaron Sivle," the seventy-five-year-old King of rock ‘n roll is now facing financial ruin and an angry girlfriend due to his addiction to The Home Shopping TV Network.

He decides to try a “comeback,” crashing Wayne Newton’s New Year's Eve show.

The next day, he tried to find comfort attending the Las Vegas chapter of "Celebrities Anonymous," a support group led by Sammy Davis Jr. that had saved other stars who faked their deaths. 

While Aaron Sivle struggles through humiliating odd jobs—including a brief stint at a jewelry store and a failed attempt at rapping—his former Vegas Band, also needing economic relief, hatch a scheme to seduce a lady Minister they know who leads the First Class Presleyterian Congregational Assembly to use her recent lottery winnings to fund the Center for Paranormal Presley Visions, a high-tech manhunt to find The King and reunite to reclaim fame and fortune.

Seeing a great opportunity in the newspaper, Elvis goes to the MGM Grand to cut a deal to stage his comeback with the owner, who is his friend from the past. He is mistaken for an impersonator and sent to a karaoke lounge. 

He then assembles a rag-tag entourage, including the lounge bartender and chick singer, and a Chinese laundry owner who makes his new costumes. Together, they set off on a road trip toward his comeback at The Richard Nixon Library.

The Band picks up his trail and chases after him, culminating in a paramilitary raid at the Richard Nixon Library, where they abduct Elvis to transport him to the World Championship Elvis Impersonators Contest in Memphis to win the million-dollar grand prize. 

However, Elvis has no interest in The Band and derails his captor's efforts by deliberately bombing his performance. Freed from their control, he achieves true musical redemption by reuniting at the contest with his original ‘50s sidemen, Scotty Moore and D.J. Fontana, for one last electrifying, impromptu set.

The final twist reveals that the entire saga was a calculated hustle between Elvis Aaron and the photographer. With his anonymity preserved and the money to pay off his debts and save his love relationship, the King drives off into the sunset.
