George Maledon, the Prince of Hangmen, just couldn't believe his eyes when he read that his old rival, Zeb Allen, had pulled off some cheap jackleg stunt involving a ten second drop. The Prince was determined to beat that time, on the death machine of his own invention. But persuading Judge Parker to come round to the unseemly notion of a speed hanging took every ounce of his guile - plus a strand of unexpected human weakness in the judge himself.
