Last Bridge to Memphis is a soon-to-be published first novel, envisioning an alternate history where Elvis Presley lives into middle age.
It’s the summer of 1987, and the last place that 20-something newsman Tom Cirone wants to be is stuck in Memphis, Tennessee, pondering all the stupid in his life. His girlfriend pregnant, his career heading south, Tom is on the run from a tragic past. But the running stops when he stumbles onto a deadly shooting … and the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll.
And that’s not all that’s shook up
Staring back at Tom in the midst of the crime scene is the face of a ghost. Except, Elvis ain’t dead. Chewed up, spit out, and stepped on, sure. But still kickin’ … ten years after illness and scandal dragged his life down into the dirt. They form an unlikely bond, each harboring the pain of a childhood tragedy. But their alliance is soon tested when Tom’s obsession with “the story” sends them barreling down a dangerous road of blackmail and betrayal.
Lookin’ for trouble–they came to the right place
For Tom, it’s a shot at letting go of all the stupid. For the King, it’s a desperate final curtain. But as their risky scheme to nail a killer unfolds, they could find themselves caught in a trap … and neither may walk out alive.
