Dead mountain
Douglas Preston
1927: Hollywood studio fixer Mary Rourke finds Carlton dead, she wonders if the rumours she's heard are true: that The Devil's Playground really is a cursed production. 1967: Paul Conway, film historian, is on the trail of a tantalizing rumour: that a single copy of The Devil's Playground - a Holy Grail for film buffs that was supposedly cursed and lost to time - may exist.
