Return to Sender Amir Fathi

Elvis Walker was born exactly fifty years after the Elvis-Elvis Aaron Presley-was born. If Walker's parents thought naming him after the King would bring him good luck, they were mistaken. Tragedy dogs Walker's life. Finally, after a terrible fire robs him of his father, mother, and sister, Walker is left with only his uncle Danny for support. Danny-a professional boxer until he refused to take a dive for the Mafia-starts to trains Walker for the UFC middleweight title. Meanwhile, strange things are happening in their hometown of Memphis, Tennessee. An attempt to contact the spirit of Elvis Presley goes terribly wrong, killing those involved and sending the soul of the King of Rock and Roll out into the world. It instinctively looks for a host-and finds one in Elvis Walker. Elvis Presley is back. He's about to discover a world very different from the one he left over half a century ago-and he's not happy about it. Set against a backdrop of violence, murder, and vengeance, Amir Fathi's genre-shattering debut novel, Return to Sender, is a roiling mix of thriller, crime saga, family drama, and supernatural horror.
