Letters from Elvis

Shocking Revelations to his Secret Confidante

Letters from Elvis may be the most important and revealing book ever written about ‘The King.’ It is based on material contained in hundreds of handwritten and authenticated letters that Elvis and his friends—Marlon Brando, Harry Belafonte and Tom Jones—secretly wrote to their spiritual guide, Carmen Montez. Never has such an intimately revealing collection of letters surfaced about such a well-known celebrity.

The performer was adored, now it is the man who is being reclaimed.

—Marilène Phipps, author Unseen Worlds

Description

Letters from Elvis is an explosive revelation of Elvis’s inner life, an exposé of heinous Hollywood crimes that targeted Elvis, a touching tale of friendship, an eerie ghost story, and a series of startling new Elvis mysteries. Because rigorous copyright laws prevent direct publication of the actual letters, the book also tells the story of the author’s thirty-year struggle to bring this new information about Elvis to light.

This book may actually be a deeply redeeming act and gift, one ordained from above for Elvis and our benefit—so that we may receive the privilege of seeing the humanity behind the Elvis image.

—Marilène Phipps, author Unseen Worlds

Gary Lindberg’s commentary throughout the book draws upon evidence gathered through painstaking research of public records, FBI files and other credible sources. I find his explanations thoughtful and well founded. Given recent revelations about the history of abusive behavior among Hollywood elites, it strikes me as quite plausible, that Elvis would have been victimized by the Katzman gang. Overall, I find this to be an intelligently written book that held my attention from beginning to end.

My heart was definitely breaking as I read it. Thank you, Gary, for writing this book and letting us all see this side of Evil, and what these monsters did to our boy!

I found I couldn’t put the book down. As then I was swept away with this tale of Elvis’s life and the atrocities that were committed on him and his friends. It explains why he felt the need to surround himself with people he could trust to protect him. But even those some of those people betrayed that trust.

Elvis Presley wasn’t my era.  Of course, I knew he was a historic musical icon. So when I read this complex book, my experience included varying degrees of curiosity, disbelief and skepticism. It’s a perplexing read; at times even mind blowing. Yet I have to say that it stirred in me a curiosity and a compassion about this iconic superstar.

I have never been a great fan of Elvis Presley, but after reading this book, I now have a deep respect for him. The author systematically proves the case for what happened to Elvis with corroborating and contemporaneous, first-hand accounts from four well-known actors, including Elvis.
