Mardi Gras Mystery

This review says that the ending will leave us unfulfilled.  However, the cover to the tale originally titled "Crime Trails the Mardi Gras" is a wonderful departure from the norm.  Rozen must've had a ball with all of the characters shown in this illustration.  As Agent T points out, "The Shadow, solemn and representing [in a way] Death, in the midst of partying and frivolity..." really makes this a strong cover.  Actually, it is one of my favorites.
