Ten years after the publication of his book on the life of Elvis Presley, the author examines the last 24 hours of Elvis' life. Goldman argues that at the stage when Elvis died his career had been reduced to third-rate one-nighters, his money had been siphoned away by the people he most trusted and that he was so dependent on drugs that he took a massive dose on an empty stomach. The author argues that death had become an obsession for Elvis, from his first suicide attempt in 1967 to his final surrender to the drugs that eventually killed him. Goldman argues that Elvis meant to take his own life.
