Agony Column

by Earl Derr Biggers

About this book

English romantic adventure starring a young American in London and inspired by the personal ads (agony columns) in the London papers. In this treacherous tale of murder and intrigue, young American Geoffrey West tracks a killer from the posh dining room of the Carlton Hotel to the opium dens of London's Limehouse district, in search of the truth and the heart of his true love--only to find the culprit all too close to home.

Earl Derr Biggers is better known as the author of numerous Charlie Chan novels.

The Agony Column was released as a movie under the name Second Floor Mystery in 1930. While this movie was in production, its two stars, Loretta Young and Grant Withers, eloped. (Summary by peac)
