Book excerpt: Erik Morse's vertiginous novella follows West Coast graduate student Everly Loennrot as he lands at the city's luxurious Peabody Hotel for a mysterious research assignment. Guided by the invisible hand of Dr. Red McGill, professor of Southern history, Loennrot wanders through a postmodern Memphis of plasticine landmarks and leopard-skin tourist traps. There he encounters a troop of eccentric characters -- an Elvis conspiracist, a rock musician cum alchemist and a rockabilly femme fatale who may be a prostitute, hired gun or ghost. When a midnight rendezvous at a highway motel turns deadly, Everly enters a vortex of double crosses, double meanings and murder, all of which point to a centuries' old secret society known only as the Memphi. With 9 chapter illustrations, and a full-colour cover shot by well-known Memphis photographer William Eggleston. BLUFFe ^CITYe ^UNDERGROUND is Volume Two of MONDOe ^MEMPHIS, a dual encyclopedic history of Memphis written by Erik Morse and musician Tav Falco, of Panther Burns. Volume One is Falco's sprawling study GHOSTSe ^BEHINDe ^THEe ^SUN, published in 2011 to great acclaim.
