Faherty,Terence Come Back Dead - A Scott Elliott Hollywood Mystery
New York Simon & Schuster 1997 0684830841 / 9780684830841 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine Remainder Signed by Author
DJ - Copy - COME BACK DEAD, the newest title in the Scott Elliott series, is a sequel to KILL ME AGAIN, which introduced Elliott and was named one of the ten best mysteries of 1996 by the editors of the Drood Review of Mystery. KILL ME AGAIN was set in 1947, and Elliott was still adjusting to civilian life. COME BACK DEAD is set in 1955. I liked the idea of moving Elliott forward in time to well after the war, when he would be in a position to reevaluate his postwar life. But the time period was dictated by a real event I used in the book: the demise of one of the greatest Hollywood studios, RKO, and the sale to television of the RKO film library. Included in the fire sale is one of RKO's most famous flops, 1942's The Imperial Albertsons, the second film of boy-genius director Carson Drury. It closely followed Drury's greatest hit and debut film, First Citizen, which he wrote, directed, and starred in. Drury blamed the failure of his second feature on RKO, because the studio replaced his ending before releasing the film. Albertsons undid Drury's reputation, and he's been in the wilderness ever since. Now, thirteen years later, he hatches a brilliant plan for redemption. He'll buy The Imperial Albertsons from RKO, reshoot his original ending, and re-release the film. Film buffs will recognize parallels between Carson Drury and Orson Wells, the ill-fated Hollywood legend. Mystery buffs will suspect that Drury's planned redemption won't go smoothly, and that is the case (and the story). When sabotage attempts break out on the set, Scott Elliott is called in to save Drury's dream. He accompanies Drury when the director, hoping to find peace, relocates the production to rural Indiana. It's a move that backfires in a big way.

DJ - Copy - How do you stop a vicious killer whose motive is vengeance and whose prey is a movie company on an isolated California ranch?

There he must deal with a murderous evil -- and the knowledge that his actions may have unleashed it. Evoking the high summer of a lost American era while exploring the weaknesses and secret sins that led to its destruction, Raise the Devil is in every way a worthy sequel to Come Back Dead, winner of the Shamus Award for Best Private Eye Novel of the year.
