Summary "Jack O' Judgment" by Edgar Wallace is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces a grim world of crime and intrigue, centering on characters embroiled in moral ambiguity, particularly Colonel Dan Boundary, a businessman with questionable ethics, and Stafford King, the chief of the Criminal Intelligence Department. The narrative unfolds amidst the backdrop of murder, deception, and a mysterious figure known as Jack o' Judgment, whose actions seemingly orchestrate the events surrounding the lives of these characters. The opening of "Jack O' Judgment" immerses the reader in a chilling crime right from the start—Snow Gregory, a drug addict and gambler, is found murdered, only for the investigation to reveal a playing card, the Jack of Clubs, which becomes symbolic in the unfolding tale. The narrative shifts quickly to Colonel Boundary, who is drawn into paranoia when he receives another playing card marked with "Jack o' Judgment," seemingly threatening him. In parallel, we meet Stafford King, a calm and methodical detective tasked with unraveling the intricacies of Boundary's dealings. As the story progresses, it hints at deeper conflicts and multilayered relationships, especially as they concern the gang led by the colonel, foreshadowing a battle between law enforcement and the underworld amidst quests for power and redemption.
