"A quick comment about the cover of the pulp magazine. The Shadow was not shown on the cover, but that was becoming standard by 1945. The Shadow was rarely depicted on the cover by this time. What was noteworthy was the the cover showed a radio microphone on a stand. And it had nothing to do with the story whatsoever! The microphone was a small part of the cover, not the central part. But it still was strange to see a radio mic when radio was never even mentioned in the story. Perhaps a homage to The Shadow's radio show? One wonders..."
I have no idea how the story is but I can say that the cover does nothing for me.
