The second novel featuring Wallace’s iconic Scotland Yard Inspector Elk ‘The Fellowship of the Frog’ involves tracking down the head of a vast underground criminal network lead by the eponymous ‘Frog’. He is just as slippery as his name implies and he has always remained a leap ahead, that is until Elk arrives on the scene. It is a tale of the seedy underworld, rampant corruption and inexplicable violence. With pounding pace, a punchy plotline and compelling romance this thriller stands the test of time and is perfect for anyone who loves Michael Connelly’s ‘Bosch’ detective series.

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.
