"In 'Safer Dead', Chet Sladen, a crime writer, is asked to investigate the cold trail of a showgirl who has disappeared fourteen months earlier. It seems hopeless, and the police have lost interest. But when questions are asked, things start to happen, witnesses are murdered and an attempt is made on Sladen's life. The showgirl is dead encased in cement at the bottom of a lake, but this is part of a larger plot. Following clues that lead to numerous murders, Sladen will solve the case."--Goodreads.com

I'm not certain how I obtained this book but I found it a satisfying read which is the most important thing. First published some 69 years ago it has stood the test of time. This couldn't be classed as historical fiction in the usual sense as in 1954 it was present day. The case was quite complicated but there was a full explanation of all the evidence towards the end. With some thrilling and tense moments it was quite gripping in places
