Elvis Presley is alive. But he's no longer The King.
Decades ago, he faked his death to escape the madness of fame. With a new face, a new name, and a lifetime of regrets, he lives in Los Angeles as Aaron King-a private investigator with a soft spot for lost causes and a prescription drug problem that just won't quit.
Now pushing seventy, Elvis spends his days tracking missing persons, dodging nosy reporters, and avoiding the heartbreak of seeing his daughter on TV, still grieving the father she believes died so long ago.
But when a wealthy Hollywood mother hires him to find her missing actress daughter, Aaron must navigate the seedy underbelly of Los Angeles, wrestle with his own demons, and confront the lie that has defined his entire life. All while someone out there seems to know exactly who he is-and wants the truth to come out.
Elvis Has Not Left the Building is a darkly funny, deeply human mystery about redemption, reinvention, and the cost of leaving it all behind. Perfect for fans of hard-boiled detectives, celebrity conspiracy theories, and stories that find hope and humor in even the darkest places.
WHAT READERS ARE SAYING: ★★★★★ Imagining that Elvis faked his own death, lives as a PI in Los Angeles, and is tortured by not knowing his daughter is a fantastic premise for a book. Having grown up on Elvis movies and music, I loved the idea that the King still lives. Rain tells the tale beautifully, sets up a mystery expertly and is as fun to read as Elvis was to watch. Even if you never heard of Elvis and live in a cave in Siberia, you'll be thoroughly entertained by Elvis Has Not Left the Building. I'm hoping this is a series... ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ Loved it! This is definitely a crazy good 'can't-put-down-until-your-finished' kind of book!! I absolutely adored this book! If you haven't read this, it's a must! If your not already a fan of J.R Rain, he's a must, too!!! Everything Mr. Rain writes has me turning pages and not accomplishing much until I'm finished! No spoilers here... but I will say it's a super fun story! Well worth it! ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ Elvis Lives! As an Elvis fan, I loved this quirky book... just to imagine Elvis reappearing after thirty years as an incognito Private Detective is a blast! I think that the author captured Elvis's personality and was able to 'write him' into this fun plot. If you love Elvis, you will get a kick out of this book. ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ The premise is that Elvis is not dead but alive and with a surgically altered appearance, has become a private investigator. While it seems quirky, it really works, and is a fun part of the story. I enjoyed this read, and would buy it again! ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ When I started to read this book I had no idea I would get so hooked. I read it in two days and loved it. The idea that Elvis is alive and working as a private investigator is mind blowing. The ending was very touching and I loved it. J.R. Rain is an incredible writer and I enjoy reading all his novels. ―Amazon reviewer ★★★★★ Let it rain! J.R. Rain that is! I recently discovered this fabulous author and can't stop reading his books! They are smartly written and have a great slice of humor. I can't wait to read everything J.R. Rain puts out! ―Amazon reviewerAlso in
