The "Just Men"

A series of mystery novels by Edgar Wallace. The Four Just Men (1905) is best known as a stand-alone novel, but the "Just Men" featured in five subsequent sequels. The four Just Men of the original novel are George Manfred, Leon Gonsalez, and Raymond Poiccart, who recruit a fourth, Thery, in their campaign to punish wrong-doers who are beyond the reach of the law. In later books, Wallace develops their backstory. The original fourth man, Merel, had died in Bordeaux, and the remaining three either recruit a fourth ad hoc or operates as a team of three.
