02 The Lady in Cement
While diving off the Miami coast seeking one of the eleven fabled Spanish Galleons sunk in 1591, private investigator Tony Rome discovers a dead woman, her feet encased in cement, at the bottom of the ocean.
Rome reports this to Lieutenant Dave Santini and thinks nothing more of the incident, until Waldo Gronski hires him to find a missing woman, Sandra Lomax. Gronski has little in the way of affluence, so he allows Rome to pawn his watch to retain his services.
(Filmed as Lady in Cement, a 1968 American neo-noir detective film, directed by Gordon Douglas and starring Frank Sinatra, Raquel Welch, Richard Conte, Martin Gabel, Lainie Kazan, Pat Henry and Dan Blocker.)
