"The Embassy Murders"


 "Spies! Government agents! Secret Service! Intrigue! Mystery! Murder! This story has it all." (So says 'The Shadow in Review'.)  This tale also features the return of U.S. Secret Serviceman, Carl Dolband, who appeared in "The Silver Scourge" from less than six months prior.  Don't get too attached to agent Dolband as he fades into the murky history of  The Shadow after this.

Love the cover.  This, again, shows how The Shadow towers over the situation and, with the pensive pose, illustrates  the true nature of our hero.  Understanding the situation through examination and then manipulating the events for the desired outcome.  The action side of The Shadow is great but the puppet master side is really what makes this character outstanding.
