An exposé of the Showbusiness Blacklist as a business-run-for-profit, where those who
did the Blacklisting would then "clear" you --- for a fee.

From the Publisher:
In the 1950s the infamous TV Blacklist was quasi-public, part of TV's every day
commerce, but The Dead File, it's bastard child, was secret.

This is a story about why and how Des McCrossan, a young actor, is put into
The Dead File, and never learns what has changed his life forever.


Excerpt

As his train pulled out of the L.A. Terminal Des McCrossan eyed his reflection staring
back at him from the rear window of the Observation car.
Otto Kleist would like this "shot": My face watching me
from an observation car window: through my face we see train tracks -
throwing off light as they pick up speed - pushing L.A. into The Past.
Otto would shoot it Expressionist black and white, though -
with the date Supered Over: AUGUST, 1950.

He gazed out at the train yards on his right:
Forget film. Going to do it live again on Broadway.
Should've have taken Bogie's advice and gone back
to New York when Paragon dropped me.
