Who Knows What Evil Lurks in the Hearts of Men?
The Shadow Knows
Lamont Cranston is a mysterious man on intimate terms with evil. A man who lives in a world of dark illusion and deadly secrets. For Lamont Cranston is The Shadow.
Once he was a brutal drug baron, absolute master of a vast and evil criminal empire, but then he was kidnapped. And his captor, a Far-Eastern mystic, initiated him into the blackest occult arts. For only through darkness can some men reach light.
Now Cranston lives in New York as an unseen defender of justice. And it is here, on the streets of the city, that he has to confront the world's most powerful villain Shiwan Khan, the last descendent of Ghengis Khan.
For The Shadow there is no end to his constant battle against the evil that stalks both 1930s New York and his own dark heart.
