Todd Gleason, amateur confidence man and all-around charmer, can’t stand the fact that Henri and Elise Procopio, already rich beyond avarice, have just won the lottery. So, Todd does what any self-respecting crook would do. He follows them to London, where the couple is celebrating their tenth wedding anniversary. The flat where Todd is setting up shop falls through when he stumbles upon the landlord lying on the carpet, fatally shot. With sirens blaring in the background, this frog out of water suddenly finds himself running from the law and falling into the hands of a couple of goons. They’re not the only folks caught up in a scam spiraling dangerously out of control. There’s Clive, the hit man with a quick right hook; Brandy Alexander, the lovely blonde from the airplane; Beth Simon, an American friends of Todd’s who just can’t stop talking; and the bumbling Birdie, a man seeking revenge again Todd. Oh, and then there’s Todd’s pet frog, Toad, who may hold a secret all is own.

With sharp comic timing a pace that never quits, London Frog jets from New York to London and back again (and back again), for a wryly suspenseful, sexy tale of crime, punishment, and amphibians.

When Laura Kinsale’s agent Richard Curtis approached her with an audio company’s offer to adapt her novels to audio, she told him she had a different idea. The award-winning romance author had long cherished a dream of producing her own audios. She retained audio rights to about a dozen of her books and felt she could do a better job than any of the commercial publishers she had surveyed.

A key part of her dream was a male British narrator, so Curtis contacted the agent for actor Nicholas Boulton, winner of an Audiofile Magazine award for his narration of David Copperfield. A deal was struck and a London studio engaged to produce the audios.

The first audio, Prince of Midnight, has been released and has already garnered rave reviews such as this one from audiogals.net: “I knew the combination of Laura Kinsale and Nicholas Boulton would prove to be a success but I still found myself a little stunned at the sheer perfection of the pair as I listened to The Prince of Midnight. And although I finished it several days ago, I remain in withdrawal.”

US fans can find the audio here, and UK residents here.

E-Reads is issuing many of Kinsale’s delicious novels in e-book and paperback. You can see them all here.
