Blue Suede Clues — Daniel Klein

The McDougal homicide and the trial that followed never made it into a single newspaper east of the Rockies. Holly McDougal was, after all, just a bit player murdered by a nobody.

1963. Elvis Presley has just completed filming Kissin' Cousins, his romance with Ann-Margret has become public knowledge, and Priscilla is on the warpath. 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.

So begins a fast-paced mystery train-ride that takes Elvis from the weird world of movie stuntmen to a ground-breaking 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.

Elvis will have to disprove a murder charge of his own and stop a diabolical film producer from publishing career-wrecking photographs of Elvis and Ann-Margret. Blue Suede Clues is a whodunnit that keeps readers guessing right up to an ending worthy of only one man: The King!
