Aron Beale is the unacknowledged son of Elvis--and a Black mother, Clara Mae Beale--the result of a chance meeting one night at New York's Warwick Hotel in the summer of '56. Few know Aron's secret, and his mid-life plan to publish a revealing memoir brings out lawyers from Graceland, religious fanatics, and death threats aiming to silence him. But his decades old chart-topping song, "Midnight Candy," catches the ear of a young journalist, Odelia Jane Phillips, triggering an unlikely love affair and a partnership in writing and adventure--a shared mission to confront and expose the conspirators who would bury Aron's controversial book.
Grounded in pop culture, laced with dark humor, and propelled by musical prose, The Prince of Memphis takes readers on a dreamlike journey--from Detroit to Las Vegas to the Birthplace of Rock 'n' Roll. Sparks fly as Aron and Odelia's romance collides with the magnetic pull of Aron's past, fueling a remarkable odyssey, a race through the shadowlands bordering black and white, and a reckoning with an absent father who is endlessly present.
