  • "A sir Philip Ramon le trae sin cuidado la carta firmada por cuatro hombres que se autoproclaman "justos". El ministro de Relaciones Exteriores no dará el brazo a torcer en la presentación del proyecto de ley que regula la extradición de extranjeros. Toda la policía de Londres está al acecho, las medidas de seguridad son máximas, el ministro se encierra en una habitación inexpugnable. Aun así, un extraño dispositivo y un flash de magnesio--que bien pudo ser nitroglicerina--dejan desconcertada a Scotland Yard. Ni siquiera la perspicaz prensa británica puede encontrar una pista que lleve a Manfred, Gonsalez, Pioccart y Thery, los cuatro hombres justos."
  • "The mysterious Four Just Men are wealthy Europeans who move easily in high society but, capable of convincing disguise and brilliant acting, are as likely to be found on the street corners of London as at the dinner tables of Paris and Rome. They are the ultimate vigilantes. Their job is to exact justice where governments and police are hamstrung. They work outside the law - and set about their business with grim precision."
  • "Though the Foreign Secretary, Sir Philip Ramon, receives a threatening letter signed "Four Just Men", he remains determined to see his Aliens Extradition Bill made law. A device in the members' smokeroom and a sudden magnesium flash that could easily have been nitro-glycerine leave Scotland Yard baffled. Even Fleet Street cannot identify the illusive Four Just Men who are dedicated to punishing by death those whom conventional justice can not touch."
  • "Kriminalroman: Bombenanschlag, ausgelöst über Telefon."
  • "Four freedom fighters who have survived torture and imprisonment at the hands of repressive regimes swear to bring vengeance on the highly placed bankers, politicians, munitions manufacturers, and corrupt officials who make the existence of such tyrannies possible. In Edgar Wallace's The Four Just Men, as one person after another, whose hands are stained with the blood of innocents, is assassinated, the police of Europe are mobilized. But no one knows who the Four Just Men are or how they perform their assassinations, often in the midst of a cordon of police protection. Then Scotland Yard puts its greatest detective on the case. But whose side are his sympathies on? As the clues pile up and the police close in, the Four Just Men swear to commit one last act of assassination, no matter what the danger. The world waits breathless with one question on its mind. Can they be stopped and should they be stopped?"@en
