Elvis Presley fakes his death with the help of the FBI and tries to live out his life in peace, but he knows his past and a determined private eye will catch up to him. The decision to pursue a new life takes great planning and eventually leads his new persona - Mr. Dale Gant - on a path to peace and redemption. The world is still fascinated by the King of Rock-n-Roll nearly 50 years after his death. Readers of Elvis: Alive in the Shadows get a first-person view of what it is like to be famous - so famous that one would do anything to be normal - and learn the price of fame is very steep indeed.
