The Legion of the Living Dead

<p>They called him Mr. Strang-a man with a ledger of sins and a private justice all his own. In Volume 2 of <em>The Legion of the Living Dead: The Complete Cases of Mr. Strang</em> Carroll John Daly returns to the city's gutters and gilded clubs for another savage high‑voltage run of pulp justice.</p><p>Here are streets where parole is a business politicians are bargains and racketeers buy their freedom with blood. When a battered ledger names the guilty and the prosecutors will not act Strang assembles a fringe army-men who having little to lose will follow his merciless law. Against him stand slick bosses crooked officials and trigger men who never miss-and one by one Daly's terse relentless chapters pit conscience against corruption cunning against cruelty.</p><p>This volume gathers the hardest of Strang's cases: a ledger that can topple empires a bride stalked by vengeance and the grim steady machinery of a one‑man vendetta that asks whether the ends ever justify the means. Gritty moral and uncomfortably persuasive these are pulp stories at their fiercest-fast cold and impossible to put down.</p><p></p>
