Vernon Loder was a pseudonym used by John George Haslette Vahey (1881-1938). 'Two Dead' was originally published by Collins Crime Club in 1934. The setting for this mystery is a charming, isolated house known as ‘Lakeside’ - a peaceful refuge for people who wanted a ‘rest’. With considerable professional acumen Dr. Sorslie had converted it into a highly successful nursing home, mainly for neurasthenic patients. One of these is Mr. Smith, admitted as a patient for a six-months’ rest cure. His secretary was accommodated in a cottage further along the lake shore. But all is not entirely peaceful. There have been suspicious strangers lurking around the lake. Things start looking ugly when a person is found dead nearby. The coroner delivers a verdict of suicide, but the local constabulary - and later Scotland Yard - are not so sure.
