An unauthorized tell-all book by Siegfried & Roy's former bodyguards could lift the curtain on "the darker side" of the illusionists' lives.   "Buried Elephants: Siegfried and Roy's Secrets Revealed" will be on the book stands in January, written by Jim Mydlach, his son Lou Mydlach and Jim Lavery.  Mydlach was in charge of security for the German illusionists for more than 20 years. Lou Mydlach was Horn's bodyguard and personal assistant in the year after the near-fatal tiger incident in October 2003.  Lavery was Lynette Chappell's boyfriend for more than 20 years.  She was Siegfried & Roy's longtime stage assistant.

The book's title refers to the "secret disposal of dead animals, including an elephant buried in Las Vegas, with homes since built over the site."  The authors also allege "drug and alcohol abuse, including fake prescriptions and rehab stints," jewelry smuggling in tiger cases and trips to South America for "sexual encounters with young boys."  The 2003 incident with Montecore the white tiger wasn't the first attack, according to the book.
