About this book

The four self-appointed avengers who dealt out their own brand of justice in Wallace's first hit return to face a larger threat. This time their enemy is the Red Hundred, a sprawling anarchist movement bent on tearing down the old order of Europe through terror and assassination. The Just Men, cool and ruthless in their methods, set themselves against the conspirators and their striking leader, the Woman of Gratz, in a running duel of plots, disguises, and narrow escapes. Published in 1908 as the sequel to The Four Just Men, it trades the tight single mystery of the original for a broader campaign, charged with the political menace and moral ambiguity that made the series so talked about.
