"The Shadow Meets The Mask"


 Police Commissioner and ace inspector, both representatives of the law, were staring at the face of the bold killer who had delivered open death! It's frozen expression, the fact that mouthed words had brought no lip motion, was proof that the face was false. Masked murder had been done in the very presence of the law! If the law was powerless to uncover this frozen-faced fiend, could The Shadow unmask the Mask? 

This was the first of two unrelated novels to share the title.  Judging by the cover art and the review by Mr. Olsen, this is the better of the two.  And speaking of the cover it looks as though Gladney was starting to round into his own.  Nice composition and nice finish.  He just makes our hero a bit too human for my tastes.
