October, 1924: it is four days before the General Election which will decide the fate of Socialism in Britain. But the Socialists are in alliance with the Communists, and if they win, the Communists will win too. The Soviet Communists want to eliminate the beautiful Maria of Gratz, an enemy of Stalin. The Czarists are also after Maria's blood, because she helped to murder Czar Nicholas and his family. The Communists of Barcelona suspect her of treachery, and want to silence her ... with so many enemies, how can Maria survive the four days until the election? Mirabelle Leicester and her husband Leon, aided by their friend Lucy Baines and the policewomen Busby and Pearce, take on the task of trying to protect Maria for four days in October. There will be plenty of surprises and unexpected consequences before they can relax their vigilance! 'Four Days in October' continues the story of 'The Woman of Gratz'. It is based on the characters in Edgar Wallace's thriller 'The Three Just Men' (1924).

Whatever happened to the brave, sassy Mirabelle Leicester after she escaped from the clutches of the evil Doctor Oberzohn at the end of Edgar Wallace's 1924 novel 'The Three Just Men'? Where did she and Leon Gonsalez go after they drove off in Leon's big fast car? A girl as resourceful as Mirabelle was certainly not going to let her hero get away from her ... Edgar Wallace never told his readers what Mirabelle Did Next, so this story sets out to follow her and Leon to her aunt's flat at Doughty Court in Bloomsbury to find out. 84 years after the great mystery writer's death, readers can at last explore where this indefatigable pair might have travelled after they left Edgar Wallace's pages.
