Lonely Street

Description

What would happen if America's greatest dead celebrity weren't really dead? What if Elvis faked his death so he could escape the public eye? What if the King of Rock 'n' Roll was on the run?

In "Lonely Street," low-rent private eye Bubba Mabry is hired by what appears to be the living Elvis, long after the King had gone to that big concert in the sky. Pretty soon, people are turning up dead and Bubba is all shook up.

"Lonely Street" was the basis for the 2009 Hollywood film of the same name, starring Jay Mohr, Robert Patrick and Joe Mantegna.

Tony Hillerman called the book "a wonderful new entry in the private eye field."
