"The Green Ribbon" is a fast-paced mystery thriller from the prolific pen of Edgar Wallace, a master of early twentieth-century crime fiction. The story centers on a mysterious betting syndicate known as the Green Ribbon, which operates with uncanny success within the high-stakes world of British horse racing.
