The Fellowship of the Frog by Edgar Wallace
"The Fellowship of the Frog" by Edgar Wallace is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The book centers around the enigmatic and sinister organization known as the Frogs, whose activities elicit public fear and intrigue, particularly in relation to a hardware merchant named James G. Bliss. The story unfolds in an atmosphere of suspense and tension as various characters navigate the complexities and perils associated with this secretive group.
At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Bliss, who suffers a violent attack, uttering the word "frog" before slipping into unconsciousness. As the narrative progresses, we learn about the Frogs—a collective characterized by lawlessness and a foreboding presence in society. The first chapter opens with Richard "Dick" Gordon, who has a chance encounter with a young woman named Ella Bennett at Maytree Cottage. Their meeting, centered around a broken-down car and the fetching of water, suggests a burgeoning connection between them. However, the atmosphere quickly shifts from charming to ominous, as Gordon’s ties to the justice system plunge him into a world fraught with danger from the Frogs and their violent actions, setting the stage for the unfolding mystery and intrigue.
