The Agony Column
by Earl Derr Biggers
Publisher: Bobbs-Merrill 1916
Number of pages: 229
Description:
Notices in the personal column of the London Daily Mail, that romantic institution popularly called 'The Agony Column', afford a medium for the introduction of the lovely girl and the hero in the opening of this story. A maze of perplexing circumstances follow, and throughout there is the same originality of treatment that one finds in the author's previous works. Turned into a motion picture 'The Second Floor Mystery' in 1930.
