Found on EBay — Biblical Mystery

Edgar J. Goodspeed, Curse in the Colophon

Edgar J. Goodspeed was a famous Bible scholar who spent the last years of his life in Los Angeles and died here in 1962. He was a prolific writer on religious subjects and an avid mystery fan, so he combined his two interests in "The Curse of the Colophon." It's not a great mystery, but rather a cliffhanger of the old school, like the book version of "The 39 Steps," which bears little resemblance to the movie. A nice copy has been listed on EBay. Bidding starts at a rather steep $75.
