From the Publisher:

"Did Elvis Presley and Marilyn Monroe have a secret love affair? Finding out is half the fun. The other half is reading one of the funniest, sexiest, and best-written novels to come along in years; the words dance and sing on the page, the dialogue is often sidesplitting. Robert S. Levinson has written a great read." --Nelson DeMille

"The Elvis and Marilyn Affair is full of action, intrigue, and beautiful women, all wrapped in the bawdy mystique of Hollywood. Who could ask for more?" --Clive Cussler

"It's a treat for movie buffs as ex-crime reporter Neil Gulliver gumshoes his way through Hollywood to save his soap-opera sex-queen ex-wife from a murder rap. Author Robert S. Levinson, a longtime writer and producer, clearly loves killing industry types, and his enthusiasm for murder and mayhem is infectious. Bodies pile up. Secrets are revealed. Do Elvis and Marilyn hold the key? I'm not tellin'." --Parnell Hall, bestselling author of Scam

"Reads like Raymond Chandler, with a touch of the Marx Brothers. Fast moving and sexy, this book is a lot of fun. Elvis and Marilyn will turn over in their graves . . . and do." --Peter Lefcourt, bestselling author of The Woody

"Move over, Elmore Leonard, we've got Levinson now, dazzling us with a roman a clefhanger that grabs you on page one and refuses to let go until you've been taken on a taut, tense, and terrific roller-coaster ride through Tinseltown in the days when the tinsel was real, the dialogue biting, and love was filled with intrigue, murder, and suspense. The denouement will stun you. This is a must-read." --Ernest Lehman, Academy Award-winning screenwriter

"Levinson has a keen knowledge of Hollywood machinations past and present, and this glamorous, treacherous story unfolds with exciting, unpredictable twists that build to a pop culture coup of incredible proportions. A real thrill ride that I couldn't put down!" --Arnold Kopelson, producer of Seven
