I've just read a book that was published in 1954, Safer Dead: At the back of the book it had a list of famous authors in Panther books. Out of interest I checked which of these were still alive. Sadly there is only one, Len Deighton who is now aged 94. Of those listed it appears that Dylan Thomas had the most tragic and needless death at a young age. I try to imagine all the authors now gone, sat at their desks pondering what to write next.
