The Legion of the Living Dead: The Complete Cases of Mr. Strang, Volume 2 (Paperback or Softback)

They called him Mr. Strang-a man with a ledger of sins and a private justice all his own. In Volume 2 of The Legion of the Living Dead: The Complete Cases of Mr. Strang, Carroll John Daly returns to the city's gutters and gilded clubs for another savage, high-voltage run of pulp justice.

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.

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.
