Written in 1973, published in 2026. I wonder why? Maybe Crichton was worried about lawsuits. Story seems inspired by The Man Who Loved Cat Dancing - a death during a film shoot in the West. Here it's a screenwriter. Crichton has digs at the macho star (Burt Reynolds?), the horny female star (Sara Miles?), an idiotic critic who pitches his story ideas. Technical details about making a film. A Sherlock Holmes like super investigatory.
Not a bad mystery - about a TV episode standard. Decent twists - they figure out who did it but then it turns out to be someone else.
