"The Rackets King"
One thing is certain: The Shadow always works with the law. He's liable, any time, to call in others to help him. Somebody like you, Mr. Formion; or Miss Marcy. He might even pick Mr. Allard, knowing him to be a friend of the commissioner's. Sometimes, he's turned a job over to me. Like the time he snagged a batch of stolen gems from the crooks who had them. They turned up in my overcoat pocket.
