The cover, by Modest Stein, depicts an ominous-looking Chinese man casting a shadow. It appeared in the 'The Shadow: a Detective Magazine' in 1931. 'The Living Shadow' was the first written The Shadow story. But everything Riders says about Harry Vincent is totally true, sigh. I'm glad I jumped on the bandwagon as I rather enjoyed this novel. Riders of Skaith started reviewing the The Shadow books last year. Diamond Bert Farwell, exposed as Wang Foo, goes to jail. In the end, the criminal mastermind's lawyer Ezekiel Bingham, is free and unpunished. Millionaire Geoffrey Laidlow is killed for his hidden jewels the rest of the story involves searching for Laidlow's killer, and the killer searching for the jewels, to be fenced with the Chinatown mastermind. Vincent finds the disk, poses as the courier, is exposed, captured, tortured, and saved by The Shadow. Cronin murders Scanlon, but fails to find the metal Chinese disk Scanlon uses as an identifier. Harry Vincent, saved from suicide by The Shadow, is recruited to watch Scanlon, courier for Wang Foo, the Chinatown mastermind.
