The Price a Woman Pays - Edgar Wallace

While Wallace could never be accused of being a run-of-the-mill author, \'The Price a Woman Pays\' is one of his more unusual tales. A gripping and fun short story, it follows the concerns of Dr Beechington who, down on his luck, wants to ensure that his daughter marries into money. Will she follow his request, or go her own way? An unexpected religious twist sets this story apart from the majority of Wallace\'s works.Fast-paced and with a liberal sprinkling of wry humour, this is an ideal read for Wallace fans or those who want an introduction to his writing.-
