Ten thrilling tales from the secret files of the world's most famous vigilantes  An honest workingman tries to intimidate his wife's blackmailer and winds up in prison. Only the organization known as the Four Just Men can save him--by taking the law into their own hands. A noted professor is found strangled to death in his laboratory, and the prime suspect is his sinister-looking son. When Manfred and Gonsalez realize that the police have not only the wrong man, but the wrong murder method, they set a trap for the real killer. A chance encounter on a golf course reveals a plot to eradicate one of the earth's most innocent and necessary creatures, and Gonsalez vows to stop the mad scientist in charge, whatever it takes. With the assassination of Sir Philip Ramon and the war against the Red Hundred years behind them, Manfred, Gonsalez, and Poiccart have settled into lives of scholarship and leisure. That does not mean, however, that they can let injustice stand. Wherever these three principled men go, they carry with them the memory of the original fourth member of their group, who was gunned down in a Bordeaux café decades ago. In his honor, and in defense of innocence and integrity, they will act--swiftly and without remorse. In these unforgettable stories, Edgar Wallace demonstrates the enduring appeal of a clever mystery solved--and vengeance obtained. This ebook features a new introduction by Otto Penzler and has been professionally proofread to ensure accuracy and readability on all devices.   Again the Three Just Men is the sixth book in the Four Just Men series, but you may enjoy reading the series in any order.… (más)

Again The Three (1928) (Just Men #6) by Edgar Wallace.
Here is a collection of short mysteries and tales of justice from the prolific Mr. Edgar Wallace. His writing was the cat’s pajamas in the thirties and the years surrounding. While the Four Just Men of previous stories has been whittled down to this trio, they are every bit as good as they were as a foursome.
We start with The Rebus. This is a tale that could almost have been told by Conan Doyle, right down to the puzzle map. There is the tale of the man who has been wronged by his wife, and the unusual things that the Just Men know the police would never admit to.
While the stories were written almost 90 years ago, and in many ways they feel a bit stogy, they still present puzzles that today’s reader will find interesting and fun to fiddle with in an effort to get what exactly has happened.
While there are some cheats happening in a few of the tales, things like information one of the trio collects away from the narrative, by and large it is well worth the trouble to find a copy and see what was part of the big deal about the Golden Age of Detection. ( )

As The Megaphone once said, in its most pessimistic and wondering mood, recording rather than condemning the strangeness of the time:
"Even The Four Just Men have become a respectable institution."
