1905. The Four Just Men established Edgar Wallace's reputation as a writer of detective thrillers, a genre in which he wrote more than 170 books. Here, a Spanish resistance leader's safety is threatened by the passage through Parliament of the Aliens Extradition Bill. Four mysterious figures, the four just men, warn the minister responsible for the bill that he faces death unless he withdraws the legislation. Throughout, Wallace maintains the suspense and excitement as the police struggle to protect the minister before the deadline imposed by the conspirators is reached. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read.
