Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Three Just Men" by Edgar Wallace is a crime fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the exploits of a clandestine group of vigilantes known as the Three Just Men, who take it upon themselves to exact justice where the law fails. Central to the plot is Mirabelle Leicester, a young woman who becomes unknowingly entwined in their dangerous world after she seeks employment in London. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to Mirabelle Leicester, who discovers a job advertisement that sets her on a path to the big city. Her aunt, Alma, expresses concern for Mirabelle’s safety as they discuss the notorious reputation of the Four Just Men, a group that presumably inspired fear across London. Meanwhile, a series of mysterious deaths attributed to a venomous escaped snake complicates the atmosphere of dread in the city. As Mirabelle secures the job with the enigmatic Dr. Oberzohn, it becomes evident that her life is about to collide dramatically with the unfolding events involving the Just Men and their controversial methods of dispensing justice. The opening engages readers with intrigue, suggesting a mix of suspense, danger, and moral ambiguity that sets the tone for Mirabelle's forthcoming adventure.
