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 cafe 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.

In the old days Edgar Wallace was considered a unique phenomenon. A remarkable writer with a record breaking output and popular with countless people. Four Just Men is a winner and besides myself, considered by the majority of his readers as one of his best books. It is a pity that very few people still talk about him. The younger generation could make the effort to give him a try, because he remains a winner among old-time writers of thrillers and crime fiction.
