Description:	He was the King - and never died. What if Elvis Presley just staged his death? A musical thriller about one of the greatest legends of all time - and the secret life that began afterward. August 1977: The world literally stands still - Elvis Presley is dead. Officially. But in truth, this is the moment when one of the most spectacular escapes of the 20th century begins. In "Jailhouse Escape - How Elvis Staged His Death," bestselling author Vernon Coleman tells the breathtaking story behind the myth: a terminally ill doppelganger, a tampered with coffin, and two new British passports - for Elvis and his accomplice. Completely worn down by fame, medication, and surveillance, Elvis Presley sees only one way out in 1977: disappearance. For good and irrevocably. With the help of a terminally ill doppelganger, his inner circle - and the author, who has access to an elaborate escape network - the unimaginable actually happens: While millions of fans mourn, Elvis lives a new, hidden, stress-free life - in the Parisian underground. Colonel Parker, Elvis's manager, ultimately approved the faked death because he believed it was Elvis's best career decision - guaranteed to boost sales of records, souvenirs, and memorabilia immeasurably. Colonel Parker had shamelessly earned more than 100 million dollars from Presley, but lost almost his entire fortune due to his pathological gambling addiction. The escape leads from Graceland via Mexico to Paris, where the King begins a new life under the name Alvin R.: In the shadow of the Eiffel Tower on the Seine, hidden in jazz cellars, he writes new songs, keeps secret diaries - and meets a woman who is never allowed to ask who he really is.
