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.
