Their assistants getting revenge? The most powerful mogul in the business tying up loose ends? A rogue gang of drug-dealing psycho skinheads settling scores? A dark top-secret organization bent on taking control of the entertainment industry? The networks? The unions? The studios? The streamers? The cops? A little bit of all of the above?
Chick Natale works as a technical consultant for cop shows, but he's not quite who he told the studios he is. When he digs into the murders, he finds it all goes way deeper than the LAPD realize. And in the city where no one tells the truth, a case like this can only get cracked by the biggest liar in town.
The debut novel by Luke Giordano, The Dead Showrunners is a darkly comic detective noir and satire of modern Hollywood influenced by works like Get Shorty by Elmore Leonard, The Player by Michael Tolkin, the novelization of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood by Quentin Tarantino, L.A. Confidential and American Tabloid by James Ellroy, the comic novels of Charles Portis, and the films of the Coen Brothers.
