Number 1,183 in the popular “Secret Service” series featuring “Old and Young King Brady, Detectives” which started January 27, 1899, and came out like clockwork every Friday for more than two decades—by which time well more than a thousand issues had been published—The Bradys and the Floating Head; or, The Clue Found in the River has the Bradys, along with Alice (their other partner), distracted by a search for lost gems in Chicago where they happened to have traveled on behalf of the Secret Service to solve a counterfeiting case.
Naturally, this being the Bradys, the two cases end up merging and they solve both of them at the same time.
At more than 21,000 words, this novella-sized work of pulp fiction, besides being an interesting and fun read, gives the reader a taste of what the masses were reading in the late 19th and early 20th century time period.
