King, Frank

Page history last edited by PBworks 17 years, 11 months ago

Frank King, 1892 - 1958, was the creator of Clive Conrad, known as 'the Dormouse', a nonchalant London PI. He also wrote about Inspector Gloom and Clarence Knight.

Conrad Detective Agency

Housed in a roomy old building in Rupert Street, just off Piccadilly, the Conrad Detective Agency was headed by Clive Conrad, tall and well-built and just short of being handsome. His sleepy-looking eyes and habit of yawning unexpectedly had earned him the nickname of the Dormouse. His very beautiful wife Alice had red hair, green eyes, an amazing complexion and a perfect figure. The third partner in the Agency was Reginald Fortescue Watt, who had a tendency to corpulence and had lost a great deal of his hair. He looked like a well-trained butler or even a bishop, and was a good cook and an excellent shot. Frank King wrote a series of books about the characters, including Enter the Dormouse (1936), That Charming Crook (1958) and The Two Who Talked (1958). - WOG Lofts and Derek Adley, The Crime Fighters.
