Three vigilante millionaires tackle intrigue and mystery as a killer stalks London in this classic from the author of The Clue of the Twisted Candle. They were once the Four Just Men—but now they are three—an enigmatic team of millionaires dedicated to administering justice when the law fails . . . London is in a panic over a string of suspicious deaths. Bodies are found with markings resembling snakebites, and the police are baffled… Country girl Mirabelle Leicester miraculously acquires a job as a laboratory secretary in the city, but something isn't right about her new boss… Sam Barberton has come to George Manfred's Triangle Detective Agency in need of help. Afraid to reveal all the details, he can only say he needs Manfred to find Miss Leicester and the Four Just Men. When he leaves, Manfred and his companions know they have questions to answer. Who is after Barberton and why did they burn his feet? Who is Miss Leicester and where is she? But one thing is certain, Barberton doesn't have long to live. Faced with the mysteries of a doomed man and a city plagued by death, the Three Just Men race against the clock to uncover the truth before it's too late. Originally published in 1926, The Three Just Men is the fourth entry in the Four Just Men series, following The Law of the Four Just Men.
