Law Of The Four Just Men [PDF ebook] 

‘Grace, ‘ he said, ‘I am going to apply the methods of the Four to this devil Stedland.’But the judge finds Jeffrey Storr guilty, not Stedland. As Storr’s wife Grace leaves the court a foreign-looking gentleman introduces himself. He and his companion are friends of her husband. Justice has failed and THE FOUR JUST MEN have stepped in. They will use their own laws to protect the innocent and will impose their own verdicts. There can be no appeal.
