by Thomas W. Hanshew

In "Riddle of the Frozen Flame," the enigmatic Hamilton Cleek, known as "The Man of the Forty Faces," confronts a chilling mystery in the desolate Fens. People vanish without a trace, and eerie flames flicker at night, fueling fear and suspicion. Meanwhile, Cleek's friend, Superintendent Narkom, grapples with a series of daring bank robberies in London. Cleek's trademark ingenuity and cunning are put to the test as he delves into the unexplained disappearances and the enigmatic flames, while Narkom races against time to apprehend the elusive criminals. Their separate investigations intertwine, revealing a web of secrets and a sinister connection between the two seemingly disparate cases.
