When an Italian mob named The Red Hand extort the English nation,
threatening to release a plague if their financial demands are not
met, Professor Tillizini, a clever man, seeks to save his country
by dismantling the secret society. After deciding the most
efficient way to stop The Red Hand would be to reveal their
secrets, particularly the identity of their leader, Tillizini
begins his investigation with his friend, Antonio Festini. Though
he is a talented investigator, Tillizini struggles to foil The Red
Hand's master plans of terrorism, but finds that he is a worthy
match to the villainous organization's wit and brawn. As the threat
of a severe biological weapon weighs heavily over England, the
professor continues his unorthodox method of fighting crime,
searching for true identities, uncovering gripping drama, and
eventually making a shocking discovery that hits very close to
home. With betrayals, twists, family drama, and action, Edgar
Wallace's The Fourth Plague appeals to modern audiences and demands
full attention. Filled with drama, mystery, and suspense, The
Fourth Plague depicts an unconventional hero as he attempts to soil
the nefarious plots of an Italian mob. The Fourth Plague was among
Wallace's earliest attempts at crime fiction, his second most
popular genre. Despite being first published over one-hundred years
ago in 1913, this captivating thriller feels fresh and
contemporary, timeless with an exciting plot and compelling
characters. This edition of The Fourth Plague by Edgar Wallace now
features an eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font
that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this
edition of The Fourth Plague creates an accessible and pleasant
