Product Description

In an extraordinary revelation, Dr. Donald Hinton recounts a scenario that is startling in its assertion and incredible in fact. He presents the events of Elvis Aron Presley's last 24 years as told to him by "The King" himself through a collection of handwritten letters and cards, telephone conversations and photos, since his "death" in 1977. In them, Elvis is alive and well and living in seclusion as "Jesse," the name of his deceased twin brother.

Dr. Hinton risks his reputation and livelihood to bring this astonishing story to print because, he says, "Jesse" felt it was time to tell his fans the truth. Elvis' disciples and skeptics alike should welcome this opportunity to finally establish or lay to rest the truth about Elvis' death or life.

This Is Not The Way For The King To Return!
The premise is quite simple - we've all heard the rumors for nearly 25 years now. Elvis faked his death and has assumed the identity of his stillborn twin Jesse. Dr. Hinton, a supposedly legit psychiatrist has been contacted by an Elvis newsletter writer to help out her friend "Jesse" who suffers from chronic pain. Dr. Hinton proceeds to treat the patient without examining him for pain (even though pain management is not his medical specialty!) He does this because he is convinced that "Jesse" is really Elvis. "Jesse" then begins corresponding with Dr. Hinton, sending him gifts purportedly that belonged to him when he was still "THE KING." "Jesse" wants Dr. Hinton (a doctor, not a writer or journalist!) to write a book to his fans explaining that he is still alive and that he faked his death. My problem is that this is not the way anyone with any common sense would expect Elvis Presley to come out of his "faked death seclusion." I would expect something more along the lines of a Barbera Walters interview and mass media hysteria, than a small, 75 page, cheaply made paperback book. There may be some compelling information in the book for those who want to believe Elvis is still alive; however, there are numerous discrepencies and contradictions in "Jesse's" handwritten letters (the photocopies of which, show a remarkable resemblance in handwriting to that of Dr. Hinton's wife! - who also contributes a handwritten "testimony" at the end of the book.) I don't pretend to know whether Elvis is dead or alive, but this book certainly did not help me any in my quest for the truth.

The truth is in the eyes
For as long as I remember Elvis was always there for me. I grew up watching his movies, sometimes going by myself just to spend the afternoon with his presence on the big screen. I spent countless hours listening to his music fitting the songs to my moods. Then I met my husband who was a fan also and we enjoyed together the music that we both loved. Then the kids came and they were raised with Elvis as an influence on their lives. We managed to make it to some of his concerts and enjoyed every treasured moment.
Then Aug. 1977 came along and left us heartbroken. Something had been taken from us that we assumed would always be there. Soon the world was flooded with the opportunists taking advantage of the death of a great man. We could not buy the merchandise just to see these people prosper with their questionable motives. We couldn't watch an Elvis impersonater. Why would we? There is only one.
Then one day in the 1980s' a T.V. special called the Elvis files aired with Bill Bixby and opened up a number of possibilites, some of which we had often wondered about ourselves. We talked about a lot of theories and did a lot thinking on the subject as I'm sure a lot of people did.
Now something else has come along that should put everything in the proper perspective. Dr. Hintons' book should be taken seriously for all the longtime and long suffering fans that still feel a sense a loss. Just take a look into the eyes of Jesse/Elvis holding his grandson and the truth will be known in your heart at last.

Awful!
One of the worst books I've ever read, about Elvis or
otherwise! The writing is awful! It proves nothing!
If I were stranded on a desert island with just this one
book, I'd throw it in the ocean!!!!
The author doesn't explain anything, anyone could have
written this book, I don't know whether Elvis is alive
or not, but believe me neither does this author!
