Description
When an Italian mob named The Red Hand extort the English nation, threatening to release a plague if their financial demands are not met, Professor Tillizini, a clever man, seeks to save his country by dismantling the secret society. After deciding the most efficient way to stop The Red Hand would be to reveal their secrets, particularly the identity of their leader, Tillizini begins his investigation with his friend, Antonio Festini. Though he is a talented investigator, Tillizini struggles to foil The Red Handâ?Ts master plans of terrorism, but finds that he is a worthy match to the villainous organizationâ?Ts wit and brawn. As the threat of a severe biological weapon weighs heavily over England, the professor continues his unorthodox method of fighting crime, searching for true identities, uncovering gripping drama, and eventually making a shocking discovery that hits very close to home. With betrayals, twists, family drama, and action, Edgar Wallaceâ?Ts The Fourth Plague appeals to modern audiences and demands full attention. Filled with drama, mystery, and suspense, The Fourth Plague depicts an unconventional hero as he attempts to soil the nefarious plots of an Italian mob. The Fourth Plague was among Wallaceâ?Ts earliest attempts at crime fiction, his second most popular genre. Despite being first published over one-hundred years ago in 1913, this captivating thriller feels fresh and contemporary, timeless with an exciting plot and compelling characters. This edition of The Fourth Plague by Edgar Wallace now features an eye-catching new cover design and is printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these accommodations, this edition of The Fourth Plague creates an accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences while restoring the original suspense and genius of Edgar Wallaceâ?Ts work.
