"A Quarter of Eight"


 "There were four interesting-looking pieces of an old Spanish coin - representing undreamed-of riches and undreamed-of danger! Only The Shadow could cope with the fearful legacy to which a couple of innocent victims fell heir." - The Shadow Wiki 

Another mid 40's tale that just doesn't measure up to the tremendous heights that The Shadow Magazine attained in the 1930s.  I read this many years ago when I picked it up at my local library as part of the Doubleday Crime Club hardcover edition that also featured "The Freakshow Murders."
