‘The Law of Four Just Men’ follows a group of four wealthy vigilantes who hunt down evil that the law cannot reach for punishment. Where conventional justice fails these men will not. Using their vast resources and illimitable skills they are a force to be reckoned with. The third entry in a five part short story Wallace goes to great lengths to expand on the unique and brilliant backstory of each character, one of whom may or may not be a European prince. It is an action packed- globe-trotting romp, explosive and engaging till the end, if you loved ‘The Four Musketeers’ or ‘Batman’ you’ll love seeing these rich boys dole out some justice.
Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was an English writer, poet and journalist. He was such a prolific writer that his publisher claimed his work could account for a quarter of all books sold in England. He wrote countless books, screenplays, poems and historical non-fiction, spawning over one hundred and sixty films based on his work. He unfortunately passed away suddenly before he could see his most famous creation ‘King Kong’ come to life. It has been adapted several times over the years, notably by Peter Jackson of Lord of the Rings fame, and more recently in ‘Godzilla vs Kong’ starring Millie Bobby Brown.
