Hollywood agent Carter Calhoun was once a legend, both loved and loathed by stars and executives alike. That was before the suicide of his lover and star client, matinee idol Sam Madison, sent Carter to the brink of alcoholism and addiction. Feeling responsible for his death, Carter became a housebound recluse. Now, years later, new evidence showing Sam was in fact murdered sends Carter on a mission to find his killer. The narrative flashes back, years earlier to Sam¿s meteoric rise and tragic fall, and to the present, as Carter¿s hunt for a killer takes him from the soundstages of Hollywood to a trailer park in Malibu to the mansions of Bel Air. Carter, now a recovering agoraphobe, drug addict and alcoholic, must navigate through a new and unfamiliar Hollywood where anyone can be famous and everyone has an agenda¿ and a secret. For Carter, solving Sam¿s murder offers hope of redemption¿ as long as he can stay alive. Part murder mystery, part witty, queer and satirical Hollywood exposé, Dead Celebrities follows the most unlikely of detectives as he copes with multiple twists and turns and a suspect list of studio heads, paparazzi, socialites and hired hoods, before finally uncovering a tangled conspiracy of sex, drugs and fame. The novel is, by turns, dark, funny, suspenseful, and above all, a swift page-turner.
