About this ebook

Considered one of Wallace’s best and most exciting thrillers, "Jack O’ Judgement" tells the story of a masked vigilante. "Jack" becomes the nemesis of the Boundary gang, a villainous group led by the dastardly Colonel Dan Boundary, that excels in blackmail and racketeering. This fast-paced and action-packed novel is recommended for those who enjoy a truly thrilling read. It constitutes a must-have for fans and collectors of Wallace’s work. Richard Horatio Edgar Wallace (1875 - 1932) was an English author best known for writing the script for the 1933 classic, "King Kong". Many vintage texts such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive, and it is with this in mind that we are republishing this book now, in an affordable, high-quality, modern edition. It comes complete with a specially commissioned biography of the author.

Edgar Wallace

Edgar Wallace (1875-1932) was a London-born writer who rose to prominence during the early twentieth century. With a background in journalism, he excelled at crime fiction with a series of detective thrillers following characters J.G. Reeder and Detective Sgt. (Inspector) Elk. Wallace is known for his extensive literary work, which has been adapted across multiple mediums, including over 160 films. His most notable contribution to cinema was the novelization and early screenplay for 1933’s King Kong.

    There is a mystery in this book but it isn't your typical sort. Col. Dan Boundary runs one of the most pervasive and ugly criminal organizations in England and the police are having a hard time getting enough hard evidence to convict him. But Jack O' Judgment, a masked and caped figure, doesn't need courtroom proof - he will extract his own justice. But who is Jack O' Judgment? That is the mystery.I have noticed before in Edgar Wallace (in the "Four Just Men" series for example) that he appears to advocate vigilantism. Unlike most early 20th century crime/mystery writers, his books don't necessarily affirm that society's justice systems (police, lawyers, courts) will prevail and uphold the good over the evil.
