Elvis Decoded
A Fan's Guide to Deciphering the Myths and Misinformation
“Finally – a book on Elvis Presley that is not only warranted but sorely needed. Author Patrick Lacy sifts through a mountain of information and dissects the singer's life and death with the precision of a surgeon and the analytical mind of a forensic scientist. If you're still convinced that Elvis is alive after reading this well-researched offering, perhaps you need to have your pulse checked.”

-Marshall Terrill, co-author of "Elvis: Still Taking Care of Business" and "Sergeant Presley"
UPDATE (02/19/2008):  The Elvis Decoded Blog has been updated with a first look at how the information from Dick Grob's 1979 book synopsis compares to his 1979 deposition (as part of the ABC News lawsuit) and his 1995 book, "The Elvis Conspiracy?," which is based on the 1979 synopsis.  A broader analysis may be posted later, but for now, we can compare a few pieces of information from these three sources and see if the details are consistent.

UPDATE (05/16/2008):  I will be taking a closer look at several sections of the The Presley Commission's Presley Report very soon.  

About The Book...

Author Patrick Lacy has written a book that is long overdue:  a detailed, in-depth examination of the facts and figures that permeate the many Elvis books, websites, articles, and public boards.  He sorts through all the information and puts things in proper perspective.

In Elvis Decoded, we find answers to questions surrounding:

* Elvis's death – theories about heart attack, overdose, polypharmacy...
* The last will of Elvis Presley...
* The death hoax theories...
* August 16, 1977 at Graceland...what happened?
*  The August 29, 1977, break-in at Forest Hill Cemetery...
* The scams and the schemes...

Elvis Decoded also covers scores of other questions and topics that have  been largely ignored or mishandled over the past 29 years.  This Elvis sleuth offers a unique perspective on the toughest questions and the most complicated issues in the Elvis Universe, and explains how things got so confusing.

Elvis Decoded - A Fan's Guide to Deciphering the Myths and Misinformation is presented in a Q&A format, and offers an examination and comparison of the numerous Elvis source materials.  Also included in the book is the author's own research into other topics that have remained largely unaddressed since Elvis's death in 1977.
About The Author...

Patrick Lacy is more than an Elvis fan. He has spent nearly 10 years researching, writing and talking to some of the most credible -- and incredible -- sources in the strange, claim-filled world surrounding the myths and legend of Elvis.  His travels have taken him from Washington to Memphis, from Lauderdale Courts to Graceland, and from Tupelo to Las Vegas.

Patrick has consulted for VH-1 and The Family Channel on two Elvis-related programs ("Rock and Roll Record Breakers" and "The Presleys"), and currently volunteers as an Elvis expert at AllExperts.com.
