Lord Harrowby visits Lloyds of London and takes out an insurance policy on his future wedding, which guarantees a hefty payout if the ceremony stalls. It’s an odd request that leads to desperate measures from both parties. Lord Allan Harrowby is engaged to marry a wealthy American heiress. Prior to their nuptials, he decides to take out an insurance policy on their wedding. If it doesn’t occur by a certain time, Harrowby will receive a massive claim for his troubles. The insurers, Lloyds of London, sends one of their trusted employees to the wedding locale to make sure it goes off without a hitch. What happens next is a series of unexpected events that attempt to derail the ceremony at every turn.Love Insurance is a screwball comedy that uses the best elements of the genre. It is a fun and entertaining story that leaps off the page. The novel was later adapted for feature film including 1919’s Love Insurance, 1924’s The Reckless Age and 1940’s One Night in the Tropics With an eye-catching new cover, and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Love Insurance is both modern and readable.

Biggers eventually fell in love with fiction and made it his primary focus. Some of his earlier works include Seven Keys to Baldpate (1913) and Love Insurance (1914). Yet, Biggers is best known for the popular Charlie Chan detective series, which began with the 1925 novel, The House Without a Key. There were six novels in all, adapted across multiple mediums including film, television, radio, and comics.
