From 1943 this is the second novel to carry the title. The rendering of the hand is good if the cover really isn't. Hate the way the blood is painted and The Shadow as well. The dollar signs are pretty goofy, as well. Oh, well, they can't all be classics. The story I can't vouch for but I'll take John's word that it's a good one. This was the last novel published as a twice monthly and in pulp size. The magazine went to a digest format after this. Of course, it returned to pulp size for the final four issues but by then the industry had changed and with it, The Shadow's fate.
