THE SHADOW KNOWS. But no one knows THE SHADOW. Cloaked in darkness and mystery, the man in black is a legend to those who have felt his remorseless hand: The Underworld. One step outside the law and many leagues ahead of the police in the battle against crime, he haunts the forbidding canyons of Manhattan with a mocking laugh that strikes terror into the souls of the guilty everywhere.
With his invisible network of crimefighters who have pledged him their loyalty--and their lives, THE SHADOW stalks a trial of blood that begins with a strange Chinese coin and ends with a king's ransom in jewels. A fortune leading straight into the trap of a brilliant master criminal who has just pulled the job of a lifetime--in another man's skin! Has THE SHADOW met his match at last?
(Originally published in The Shadow Magazine, Volume I, April/June 1931.)
