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.
Jack O' Judgment edition by Edgar Wallace Literature Fiction eBooks
I give this one four stars. As usual Wallace crafts his story around a larger than life villain, seasons the pot with interesting characters, then provides a surprise ending to wrap it all up. Wallace always had the knack for creating a complicated plot, peopling his stories with lots of well drawn characters, winding it all up with lots of twists and turns, and then letting it rip. Essentially this is sensationalist pulp fiction with style and verve. You never have to worry about the plot running off on a tangent as a page or two later the story is always back on track and Wallace never loses the pace. In lesser hands this story might leave the reader's mind struggling with credulity as the plot unfolds, but, in the hands of a master story teller like Wallace the reader's attention is never left to wander off in that direction. One could argue the point that what Wallace was at heart is a teller of tall tales and that this story is as tall a tale as any ever told. There is a craft to writing, and Edgar Wallace displays a mastery of his craft in this tale.Product details

Jack O' Judgment edition by Edgar Wallace Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
ok
Edgar Wallace books are good enough not to go out of fashion. If he is new to you give his mysteries a try. I think most of you won't be sorry.
Exciting, fast moving plot makes it hard to put down. Edgar Wallace is always a fun read. All sorts of twists and turns with a surprise ending.
While not my favorite mystery of Edgar Wallace's (that would either be ANGEL OF TERROR or THE MAN WHO KNEW), this certainly is a good, fast-paced thriller. The villain, Colonel Boundary, isn't as interesting as I'd hoped he would be, and Jack O'Judgement is an idea that isn't as well executed as I hoped (his plans and backstory are cool).
But the set-pieces are rather enjoyable, as is the plotting. And the sentimentality isn't overdone.
This is a typically wonderful Edgar Wallace mystery, in which justice is finally done, albeit not by the strictest compliance with law, but is tempered with sympathy and understanding. Wallace is, without doubt, the greatest master of his genre.
This book held my interest like no other has for a long time. Not only was it well-written (very update considering the period it was written), but it was amazing to me that Wallace could pack in all those details and still keep the story moving.
I nearly always have a strong feeling about whodunit and maybe the reason I was so surprised was that we already knew whodunit and the real mystery was WHO WAS JACK O' JUDGMENT?
I agree with another reviewer that the story ends the way we want it to, not only for the police detective and his girl but for a couple of the not-so-bad crooks.
This is a review of the free edition.
The Boundary gang deals in blackmail. But not in the manner you expect. Instead of demanding money, they buy your business or land, but on the cheap. This helps to make it much more harder to accuse them of blackmail, Col. Dan Boundary is just a good businessman. Living on human misery, Col. Boundary is a true villain, one of the stronger ones I can think of.
Enter Jack O' Judgement. This masked vigilante becomes the Nemesis of the Boundary gang, haunting them at every turn. He's clearly determined to bring the gang down, or die trying. This story is also interesting in that the main female lead just happens to be a male impersonator....Hmm....
If you like a tale of Revenge, this is it. Easy recommendation and only about 2,900 locations long. And this story packs it in.
