AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'ARTHUR GASK'S new crime melodrama, 'The Silent Dead,' tells the story of the rise of a slum child to comfort and happiness as the wife of a husband from whom she resolutely keeps two deeply buried secrets. They're not such dreadful secrets, but the heroine goes to great efforts to avoid their being revealed — even becoming involved with a blackmailer, 'an unwholesome sexual beast,' who is shot dead in a country house where she is staying. Investigating the murder is Mr. Gask's unorthodox Scotland Yard detective, Gilbert Larose, who, to protect the heroine's secrets, is persuaded to dispose of the body of an attacker he has slain in self-defence.'
