Ingen har nogensinde set lederen, der bliver kaldt Frøen, og alligevel er alle skrækslagne for ham. Den uforlignelige og frygtløse politimand Elk sætter sig alligevel for at opspore Frøen, og dermed bringer han sig selv i overhængende livsfare. Hvem er jageren, og hvem er byttet i Edgar Wallaces klassiske krimi "Frøens broderskab"?Den engelske forfatter Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) levede et dramatisk og omflakkende liv. Som soldat i Boerkrigen blev Edgar Wallace ved et tilfælde korrespondent for Reuters og Daily Mail og begyndte samtidig at skrive digte og noveller.
