19 - Four Just Men by Edgar Wallace

Amid the political chaos preceding the First World War, the world seemed to be teeming with anarchists, spies, and villains. Conventional Law and Order seemed ill-equipped to handle such threats, but not to worry, for there exist Four Just Men who stand guard. The distinguished Foreign Secretary Sir Philip Ramon receives an ominous letter from this feared team, challenging his proposed Alien Extradition Bill which they believe to be unjust. The Four Just Men have a reputation for bringing justice where the law fails, making their threats real and immediate. The fate of Ramons bill and perhaps Ramon himself hangs in the balance, resulting in a thrilling chase between the Four Just Men and Scotland Yard, all under the watchful eye of an eager press. The gripping tale unfolds over two parts Part 1 The Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs; Part 2 The Council of Justice. (Summary by Andy Sames)
