"He's no gorilla, that fellow. If he had been, he'd have quit. This was his first try at murder. It's the new ones who are the toughest sometimes. They're after blood; they don't calculate. Too bad I had to shoot him; I wouldn't have had a chance, if I hadn't."
-Joe Cardona, Acting Inspector
The Creeper gets his moniker from his stealthy footsteps. Huh? I guess you'll just have to read how that works into this story. Don't for a moment confuse this adventure with either of the radio versions that share the title. This is an exciting mystery from 1935, a fine year indeed. And, hey, it has a 'hands' cover with clews written right on it. What more can a Shadowphile wish for?!
