When the British Foreign Secretary refuses to abandon a bill that will condemn an innocent man to death at the hands of a despotic foreign government, this shadowy quartet issues an audacious ultimatum: withdraw the bill, or die. Scotland Yard mobilises every resource at its disposal, London is gripped by terror, and yet the Four Just Men remain always one step ahead, orchestrating a cat-and-mouse chase across the capital that crackles with suspense from the very first page.\n\nFirst published in 1905 in a blaze of promotional genius — Wallace famously offered cash prizes to readers who could guess the ending — The Four Just Men established Edgar Wallace as the undisputed king of the thriller genre and a towering figure in popular British fiction. His prose is propulsive and cinematically vivid, marshalling a vast cast of characters through a plot of clockwork precision, all while posing genuinely uncomfortable questions about the nature of justice, morality, and the limits of the law. For any reader who believes they know how an unstoppable force meets an immovable object, Wallace has a surprise waiting in the final act.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203252822235,"sku":"2026200015743-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/bf1126fb-1113-475e-9659-e459f44912b4.png?v=1788146462","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015743-secondhand-the-four-just-men","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
