The Unknown Elvis is a provocative nonfiction series that dismantles the sanitized legend of Elvis Presley and replaces it with documented evidence, firsthand voices, and scientific inquiry. Beginning with Letters from Elvis, the series exposes handwritten correspondence Elvis never intended the public to see—revealing doubts, family secrets, and private truths shared with a trusted confidante and celebrity friends. Brando on Elvis follows with the unfiltered, word-for-word letters of Marlon Brando, offering an explosive, intimate portrait that defies official narratives. The series culminates in a forensic examination of Elvis’s origins, using DNA analysis and new research to uncover a family history long obscured by myth, denial, and commercial interests. Meticulously sourced and unapologetically disruptive, The Unknown Elvis challenges readers to confront who Elvis really was—and why the truth was buried.

Letters from Elvis
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.

It explores how ancestry shaped Elvis, correcting myths and uncovering surprises: Cherokee and Jewish links, an unmarried Presley matriarch with nine children, an unknown great-grandfather, Gladys’s middle-name mystery, a hidden birthplace, and a possible genetic mutation.
