Summary: "Dead Giveaway" by Randall Garrett is a science fiction novel written in the late 1950s. The book centers around a cultural mystery, exploring themes of alien civilizations and the significance of artifacts left behind on distant planets. It follows Dr. Dave Turnbull, a scholar who becomes embroiled in an investigation regarding the disappearance of his mentor, Scholar James Duckworth. The story unfolds as Turnbull, returning to Earth after a research expedition, finds a series of distressing letters from Duckworth that hint at his departure for a mysterious research project on the planet Mendez. Turnbull's search for the missing scholar leads him to uncover deeper secrets tied to Centaurus City, an ancient and enigmatic alien civilization. As Turnbull delves into the mysteries of Duckworth's undertaking, he learns about the implications of the artifacts found there and the profound cultural insights they may contain. Ultimately, the investigation reveals implications for humanity’s understanding of its place in the universe, as Turnbull confronts the possibility that their existence unfolds under the watchful eyes of advanced beings.
