The Crime Clinic

An early Shadow mystery that used the concept of The Shadow as a lurking figure as shown by this cover. I like the concept but as a fan I would have wanted to see my hero, not a parrot, on the cover. However, since I am no longer a child (at least in age) this cover does make me want to read the story to find out what it all means. Since the title it was submitted under was "The Jackdaw" I am even more curious why the brightly color bird was used rather than the dark hued fowl that is a jackdaw. Anyhow, well rendered if a bit odd, this is a cover that, at the very least, piques curiosity.
