1 y separately published work icon Come to Dust Greg Matthews , New York (City) : Walker and Company , 1998 Z1256615 1998 single work novel mystery 'Keith Moody's life is coming together nicely: happily married to Myra, his first novel published (to good reviews, though the sales left something to be desired), his second in the hands of his agent, and now, here on the beach, someone is reading his book. When he goes over to the young man to find out if he likes it, to offer to autograph it for him, Moody finds himself staring down the barrel of a gun and into the eyes of a madman. Getting away is relatively easy, a matter of some fast talk and promises. But nothing seems to help when Moody discovers that someone has made him a target. He has nothing of value, though he does have his old job as a screenwriter for Empire Productions back - and under conditions he finds more than acceptable after the horrible events that led to his being fired. But then the man living in his old apartment is murdered and while the cops drag Moody to the scene, someone breaks into his new home, ransacking it. Fortunately, Myra wasn't there at the time; unfortunately, she's about to be kidnapped.' Publisher's comment from cover.

1 y separately published work icon Far from Heaven Greg Matthews , Pymble : HarperCollins Australia , 1996 Z429246 1996 single work novel Keith Moody is a screenwriter with big dreams and the means to make them come true...even if he's temporarily stuck with scripts like Six-Gun Justice; fifteen of them, in fact, each a moneymaker for Empire Productions. But things are about to change. Moody's cousin, Russell Keys, is on the cover of Life; a war hero, a triple ace Flying Tiger in the China skies. Who better to write the screenplay of Keys's story? Who better to persuade Keys to cooperate with the studio? It doesn't matter that Moody hasn't been in touch with his cousin in years, that they never got along. If Moody does the job, his future is ensured. Then Keys disappears mysteriously and all hell breaks loose, leaving Moody to try to uncover what happened and who is doing what to whom.
