The Second Coming of Elvis

Elvis has left the building. He may have left a son behind. For more than fifty years, John Dennis Smith has lived with a question he cannot answer. He has Elvis Presley‘s voice. He has Elvis Presley‘s face. And in his Arizona home, he keeps what he believes to be the Presley family Bible. The Second Coming of Elvis is the result of twenty-five years of investigation by author Paul Reginald Graziosi, with passages contributed by John Smith Presley. What began as a chance meeting on a church stage in Scottsdale became a quarter-century quest to answer a single question: Is John Smith the forgotten son of the King of Rock and Roll? The book follows John‘s decades-long journey from John Dennis Smith to John Smith Presley, through secrecy, denial, leaked confidences, and a Nashville gathering where the author sat as a fly on the wall among surviving members of Elvis Presley‘s inner circle. This is a biographical work based on facts known to the author at the time of writing. It is one man‘s quest for answers, told through the eyes of the friend who walked beside him for twenty-five years. For readers of hidden identity stories, music history that reads like a mystery, and every Elvis fan who has wondered what really happened behind the curtain.
