Robert Elgin died on the street, knocked down and run over by a Second Avenue bus while pursuing a woman he thought he could not live without. In a tale told from the end to the beginning, we meet Robert Elgin, who, after stumbling upon a secret slush fund his political bosses have been skimming off the public, takes the money and runs. But back home in Michigan, Elgin's children must wonder what has become of their father. Of course he can't just leave them there, he can't just run away. But he doesn't know how to go back, either. And he has to. A spellbinding literary noir, "Safe in Heaven Dead reveals a world of people struggling to do what's right when everything seems wrong, a world of people resisting surrender to the corruption that surrounds them, and a world that, in the face of apparent hopelessness, somehow still breeds hope.
