Synopsis

In this first outing for private investigator Bubba Mabry, Bubba is hired to act as a bodyguard for a visiting celebrity. Well, the celebrity turns out to be none other than Elvis, the King himself, the "fan" who is harassing him is really a sleazy tabloid reporter, and Bubba knows he has his hands full.

From Library Journal:

This work introduces Bubba Mabry into the legion of fictional hard-boiled detectives, and Bubba's client is no less than the King himself. It seems that a hard-working but seriously overweight tabloid journalist spots a convincing Elvis look-alike in New Mexico. On closer examination, it turns out to be the genuine article, and Elvis becomes worried that he could be exposed, so he hires Bubba for some surveillance work at the astonishing rate of $30 an hour. A couple of corpses later, Bubba is a murder suspect, Elvis has left the building, and journalists are circling overhead like vultures. Narrator Gene Engene does an absolutely terrific job of conveying the humor and frantic pace of this comic crime novel. He does a wonderful imitation of Elvis, but he is even better with the more outrageous characters. To the folks at Books in Motion, I can only say...thank you, thank you very much. A priority purchase.ARay Vignovich, West Des Moines P.L., IA
