Synopsis for "The Crime Oracle"

Out of thin air came this bodiless specter -- a gruesome, learning head that talked! Murder was done at this monster's bidding! But from the mind of The Shadow came knowledge that counterbalanced the twisted brain that was The Head!

Notes


Trivia

  • At the end of the story, The Shadow saves Cliff Marsland from being shot by a thug. Witnessing this action, Joe Cardona correctly concludes that Marsland is really one of The Shadow's agents.
