The Black Spanish Flower
In book two of the Memphis M.O. Series, marauders stage an attack on Graceland to steal Elvis’s favorite jumpsuit, The Black Spanish Flower. Amos Grey’s heroics there set him on a quest to earn a spot on the Memphis Police Department’s TACT Squad. Why does Lieutenant Rick Munro stand in his way?
Grey seeks to root out the truth about his father, a cop who was killed when Amos was an infant. The trail takes unexpected turns, all the way back to the infamous assassination in 1968 at the Lorraine Motel. Can he unravel the mystery and catch up to the charismatic Elvis tribute artist, who plans to don The Black Spanish Flower to a final cataclysmic event?

When Munro returns to TACT as a newly promoted lieutenant, the jinx torments him still. He must contend with team members’ rival agendas around every turn. Munro finds himself in a battle he can’t escape as corruption and death unfold around him.
Who can he trust? Will Munro break the streak or will it destroy everything he believes in?
