Description de l’éditeur

Sparky and the King takes readers back to 1960. Fidel Castro has just taken over Cuba, Jack Kennedy is in the White House, and Elvis Presley is preparing a Louisiana Hayride comeback concert now that he’s out of the Army. Enter Jack Ruby, owner of the Carousel Club in Dallas. Ruby is being sent on a secret mission by the mob to stop the local Klan in Shreveport, Louisiana, and their hired killer, from assassinating Presley, who they perceive as a threat, not only to their families, but to the entire nation. Ruby’s real challenge, however, is finding a way to make it back to Dallas alive once his mission is accomplished.

Sparky and the King is full of sleazy, but memorable characters, as it takes readers back to a not-so-nice time in our nation’s past when not everyone was treated equally. It also offers some plausible scenarios about the real Jack Ruby, a man who even now, some forty years after his death, remains an enigma. Sparky and the King is a great read for Elvis fans, history buffs, and those who like a good crime story.
