Despre această carte electronică

The third novel in the ‘Four Just Men’ series, the Just Men find themselves in beautiful Cordova, decorated with it’s Moorish influences. Following the trend of the previous entries, the core of three Just Men remains the same while a new face joins the team on their quests for justice, equally capable and unique in their own way. This wealthy group of vigilantes exists to show criminals that the limits of the justice system aren’t enough to keep them safe, that wherever they are justice will come for them. It is a thrilling, action packed and fast paced novel with a brilliant ensemble of characters. If you love ‘Batman’ you’ll love these wealthy Englishmen doling out some old fashioned justice, just in Tweed instead of a Batsuit. 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.
