Schweitzer Klassifikation
Jim Condelles is an Emmy-Award winning former broadcast journalist, a 15-year veteran of the TV news trenches. He's reported and anchored the news in large U.S. markets, including network-affiliated stations in Kansas City, Indianapolis, and Memphis. During his journalism career he's interviewed presidents and death-row inmates, Hollywood celebrities, and everyday heroes. He's covered natural disasters, scandals, murders, and yes, also the King of Rock 'n' Roll. "Last Bridge to Memphis" is his first novel. Covering the anniversary of the death of Elvis Presley, as a young reporter, Jim received an anonymous audiotape with a homemade Elvis recording. The song was "Mystery Train" and the singer sounded eerily like Elvis. Because no one ever came forward to say they'd sent it, the tape has haunted Jim's imagination for decades. This lifelong mystery inspired a fictional world where a still-living Elvis and his reporter companion search for meaning in late 1980s Memphis.
