Produktbeschreibung

Edgar Wallace’s classic vigilante detective series The Four Just Men - involving four wealthy and resourceful individuals determined to take the law into their own hands - has maintained its popularity for over a century. It began with The Four Just Men in 1905, and was followed by five other books recounting further adventures, the Walter Ford film (1939), and a TV series (1959-60). In this, the opening volume, the mysterious Four Just Men punish by death those who are beyond the reach of the law. When Foreign Secretary Sir Philip Ramon’s proposed Aliens Extradition Bill threatens the safety of a Spanish resistance leader, the men warn Sir Philip that he must either withdraw the legislation or face death. This is a gripping novel in which the police struggle to protect Ramon and capture the men against the fast approaching deadline.

Autorenporträt

Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace was a British writer known for his contributions to sensational genres like detective stories, gangster novels, adventure tales, and science fiction. He was born on April 1, 1875, in Greenwich, London, to a poor family and was raised as an illegitimate child. Wallace left school at the age of 12 and began working in various jobs before finding his way into journalism. His early life was marked by hardship, but he soon found success as a writer, contributing not only novels but also plays, screenplays, and short stories. Wallace is best remembered for his detective and crime fiction, including the creation of "The Green Archer" and the introduction of the character "King Kong" to cinema. His works were marked by suspense, high tension, and complex characters. He was married twice, first to Ivy Maude Caldecott, with whom he had a son and daughter, and later to Ethel Violet King. Wallace passed away on February 10, 1932, at the age of 56 in Beverly Hills, California.
