Who Killed Elvis? by Craig Sodaro

When the Verelli family holds an Elvis impersonation contest for their newly renamed business, the “Elvis Ate Here” Inn, a host of star-struck Elvis fanatics shows up with the media in tow. Just what they needed to boost profits! Unfortunately, the Verellis get more than they bargained for when a couple of thieves on the run after making off with priceless Elvis memorabilia show up in disguise and a pair of suspicious thugs wanders in, followed by a group of high school students who desperately need to win the prize money for prom. Add to the mix a fortuneteller who mysteriously predicts “death to the king,” a troupe of ogling Elvis fans (including one father in the midst of a mid-life crisis) and a banker intent on foreclosing, and it’s general Elvis hysteria! Order up for one “Heartbreak Hoagie,” some “Love Me Chicken Tenders” and an “All Shook Up Shake,” but who asked for two murders?! Crack cop Betty and her partner Bernice try to apply a strong-arm approach to their investigation with aid from Chief Ralph. Meanwhile, Madame Laski conducts a séance to contact the real Elvis, who speaks through his impersonators to reveal some cryptic clues using titles of his many songs.
