As the novel opens, the aging writer is at the end of his string-a habitué of Hollywood bars and endless drinking sessions at the Musso & Frank Grill. Here he is approached by a small-time producer, Billy Miracle, with an offer to work on a project designed to resurrect the career of a fading screen star.
Thompson accepts, and soon finds himself at the center of a lurid triangle, inadvertently following a trail that leads from a dead starlet-found strangled in the back of a Cadillac-to the doorstep of one of the most powerful men in Hollywood.
Set in the seamy back streets of Los Angeles, in 1972, Manifesto for the Dead tells the story of legendary crime writer Jim Thompson in his darkest hour. It is a book about desire and lust, about a writer struggling with illusion, disillusion and fate on the back lots of Hollywood. But the Manifesto is also a novel-within-a-novel, telling two stories that intertwine-one set in Hollywood, the other in Thompson's imagination-each rushing headlong into the other, into that area where fact and fiction are no longer distinguishable, and the darkness is inseparable from the light.

“Fascinating, beautifully written . . . . Thompson is alive on the page, and the questions that Stansberry poses about the nature of noir seem part of Thompson’s own disintegrating persona . . . an enviable achievement.” —San Francisco Chronicle
“Stansberry buries a sense of cosmic foreboding in nearly every line. Through a poetics of menace that at times takes on a positively hallucinatory beauty, Stansberry exposes the Manichaean heart of noir.” —LA Weekly
