Book excerpt: The Four Just Men (1905) is a political thriller by Edgar Wallace. The book that launched Wallace’s career as one of England’s leading popular fiction writers, The Four Just Men was released in conjunction with a newspaper competition allowing readers to guess the truth behind the unsolved mystery at the end of the novel. Like many of Wallace’s stories and novels, The Four Just Men was adapted into a silent film in 1921 before being made into a popular television series in 1959. At a small café in the city of Cadiz, four men gather to discuss the affairs of the world. Together, this Englishman, Frenchman, Italian, and Spaniard are known as “The Four Just Men.” Using their power and influence as businessman and aristocrats, these unlikely vigilantes have become humanity’s only hope for justice, a unified front against corruption, abuse, and anarchy. As news of their brotherhood spreads, gaining them the attention of numerous international intelligence agencies, their list of targets dwindles with each successful move they make. Justifying their use of murder through a dedicated application of morality, “The Four Just Men” rid the world of sex traffickers, factory owners, politicians on the take, and countless others who seem always to threaten human life without facing the consequences. The first in a series of six novels, The Four Just Men is an absolute thrill ride from start to finish. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of Edgar Wallace’s The Four Just Men is a classic political thriller reimagined for modern readers.

Book excerpt: The man in the big oaken pen looked down at the pale drawn face of a girl turned to him from the well of the court and smiled encouragingly. For his part, he did not blanch and his grave eyes went back to the figure on the Bench--the puce-gowned, white-headed figure that was writing so industriously. What did a Judge write on these occasions, he wondered? Surely not a precis of the crime. He was impatient now to have done with it all; this airy court, these blurred rows of pink faces in the gloom of the public gallery, the indifferent counsel and particularly with the two men who had sat near the lawyer's pews watching him intently.

Book excerpt: The Just Men of Cordova, the third novel in the Four Just Men series, finds the Just Men seeking to bring right the wrongs of criminals in the world of upper-class high finance and horse racing. Colonel Black, a notorious London financier, has moved up in the world due to the convenient deaths of his investment partners. The Just Men soon catch wind that Dr. Essley, a colleague of Dr. Black’s, has purchased a small supply of an extremely fatal poison that leaves no trace on the victim, and so they recruit a fourth Just Man to help them in their work. But despite several warnings from the Just Men, Colonel Black continues his murderous ways. Can the now-four Just Men stop him? Edgar Wallace wrote The Just Men of Cordova some nine years after The Council of Justice, the previous novel in the series.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Four Just Men is a detective thriller published in 1905 by the British writer Edgar Wallace. The eponymous "Just Men" appear in several sequels.dgar Wallace formed the idea of The Four Just Men - four wealthy gentleman vigilantes (including a European prince) who punish wrong-doers who are beyond the reach of the Law - while returning to England in 1905. He had to create his own publishing company, Tallis, to publish it and decided to manage a 'guess the murder method' competition in the Daily Mail with a prize of £1,000 (equivalent in purchasing power to at least £93,000 in 2013). Wallace intended to advertise the book on an unprecedented scale, not just in Britain itself but across the Empire. He approached the proprietor, Lord Harmsworth for the loan of the £1,000 and was promptly refused, but Wallace pressed ahead anyway. His alarmed workmates at the Mail prevailed upon him to lower the prize money to £500: a £250 first prize, £200 second prize and £50 third prize, but were unable to restrain him in the privacy of his home. Wallace had advertisements placed on buses, hoardings, flyers, and so forth, running up an incredible bill of £2,000. Though he knew he needed the book to sell sufficient copies to make £2,500 before he saw any profit, Wallace was confident that this would be achieved in the first three months of the book going on sale, hopelessly underestimating the expenses.
