A city of electric shadows and restless whispers awaits. A journalist's world becomes a maze of motive, malice, and bravado, where truth slips between the facts and the rumours that drive a metropolis. The Agony Column offers a crisp, gripping snapshot of early twentieth century mystery: a sequence of urban scandals investigated through sharp observation, keen deduction, and the unyielding pull of public interest. The story blends classic detective fiction with journalism and crime, inviting readers into a New York City atmosphere where motive, consequence, and public urgency collide. It's a compact, satisfying sample of the era's detection novels, written with the crisp energy that keeps crime fiction by american authors both accessible and rewarding for university literature courses and casual readers alike. This title carries literary and historical significance as a public domain classic that mirrors the journalism-driven investigations that coloured American life at the turn of the century. It's a bridge between pulp andperiod seriousness, a work that speaks to fans of early twentieth century america and the enduring craft of investigation writing. Out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions. Restored for today's and future generations. More than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. A book for the mystery readers collection editions, for academic shelves, and for anyone drawn to the roots of crime fiction by american authors.
