The Shadow knows!

Notes

• Reprinted in paperbacks as Pyramid #3 and New English Library #3.
• The sinister hooded man on the cover is an illustration of the radio Shadow, and was painted from a publicity still of James LaCurto. LaCurto is credit as being the first voice of The Shadow, when he was only a narrator for "Detective Story Hour." The same cover was first used on issue 6.
• First appearance of Cliff Marsland and Arline Griscom. They marry at the end of the novel and continue being a couple in future stories.
