Line 55:
=== Video Games ===
* ''[[Shadow of Destiny]]'', although he's trying to reverse his death as well.
* The Flash adventure game ''[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/173654 The Dead Case]''
* ''[[The World Ends With You]]'' {{spoiler|Most of the plot of Joshua's week was about Neku trying to figure this out.}} By the end of game it becomes clear that {{spoiler|this was becuase Joshua himself was the murderer.}}
* Sissel's motivation as the eponymous ghost in ''[[Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective]]'' is not only to find his killer, but to find out who he is in the first place.
* The eponymous character of the PC game ''[[Ghost in The Sheet]]'' starts the game by getting run over by a bus. He's not quite satisfied with the "it was an accident" theory, but he has to put it on the back burner in favor of the job his new boss has given him. At the end it's revealed that {{spoiler|his boss arranged for it to happen for reasons that aren't clear (at least, not clear as to why GITS specifically) but appear to revolve around a need for a lackey of some kind}}.
* Sonny, from the flash game series of the same name, died prior to first game's start. He cannot remember what happened to him or anything about his life prior death, and wonders who resurrected him and why.
Line 87:
** "Dead Man Walking". [[Genre Savvy]] Tony makes a comparison by name to ''DOA''.
** Also when Tony gets pneumonic plague.
* ''[[Homicide: Life
* ''[[Starsky and Hutch (TV series)|Starsky and Hutch]]'', episode "A Coffin for Starsky".
* An early [[CSI: Miami]] was about a woman who was poisoned with radioactive materials by a [[Corrupt Corporate Executive]] ([[Red Herring|or rather]] {{spoiler|a low level employee who she seduced to get information}}) because she happened to be the lawyer working the joint lawsuit against their illegal dumping practices.
Line 106:
=== Literature ===
* ''[[Who Censored Roger Rabbit? (Literature)]]''. Unlike ''[[Who Framed Roger Rabbit?|Who Framed Roger Rabbit]]'', Roger is dead, and his doppelganger (a temporary copy of himself) goes to Eddie to find out who iced the original.
* ''[[Down and Out
* ''[[Umineko no Naku Koro ni]]''
** Drawn to an epic [[Mind Screw]] at the end of Umineko Ep4 with this gem:
{{quote|'''Beatrice''': "{{color|red|Battler Ushiromiya, at this time, I will kill you. And right now, there is no one on the island other than you. The only one alive on this island is you. Nothing outside the island can interfere in any way. And of course, I am not you. However, I am here now and will kill you.}}"
'''Battler''': "Like a souped up version of the mystery with Doctor Nanjo's murder...... .........So......?"
'''Beatrice''': ".........Who...aaam I...?" }}
** Especially since it is said in red ([[Language of Truth|which means it must be true]]) and that he (and the reader) is supposed to figure who that person is.
* The whole point of ''[[Higurashi no Naku Koro ni]]'' {{spoiler|is Rika finding out who kills her every June, and consequently destroys the town.}}
* ''To Live Again'', novel by [[Robert Silverberg]]
* ''[[The Takeshi Kovacs Series|Altered Carbon]]'' by [[Richard K. Morgan]] is a [[Film Noir]] style thriller, with an investigator hired by the restored backup of an apparent suicide. The victim does not believe that he could have possibly wanted to kill himself; indeed it would be futile given that he was backed up and brought back to life in under 48 hours and instead believes he was murdered and demands justice.
