Work Information

To protect a film being remade, Scott Elliott enters a world of lingering Hollywood glamour and dangerous sabotage.

Come Back Dead is a Scott Elliott mystery. In 1955, as television disrupts the film business, former prodigy director Carson Drury tries to reclaim his reputation by reshooting the ending of his film, The Imperial Albertsons. Script theft and an arson attack on the editing room threaten the production, and Elliott is hired to protect it. His investigation leads behind Hollywood's glamour to obsession and violence.

Review Summaries

  • Readers have praised the plotting, which directs suspicion toward several possible culprits, and the evocation of period Hollywood. Others find the pacing and the protagonist's characterization less compelling.
