Come Back Dead
A Scott Elliott Mystery
by Terence Faherty
Review this book!
Hollywood sleuth Scott Elliott is at it again, this time trying to unravel the story behind Carson Drury and his failed film "The Imperial Albertsons". Drury was the film's writer, director, and star, and he claims that it flopped at the box office only because his studio changed the ending. With the advent of the television age, the studio is facing serious financial troubles, and it plans to sell off its films to regain some of the recent losses. Drury sees the sale of his movie as the perfect opportunity to buy it back and reshoot the ending. But someone doesn't want Drury to resurrect the film, and whoever it is may be willing to kill to stop him.

Publisher Notes
The year is 1955, and the media landscape is changing. The arrival of television has taken a major toll on Hollywood's box office receipts, and times don't look to be getting any easier for the studios. As a result, RKO has decided to put its entire library of films on the block, as a way to recoup some of its losses.
First Line
A con was in progress. A young man was trying to convince a young woman that he needed dancing lessons. I knew he didn't. Anyone would have known, except this particular teacher. She didn't exactly trust him, but it wasn't over his dancing ability. She figured he was on the make.
