The Shadow has always known what evil lurks in the hearts of men...
until now! When his mystic powers fail, the original masked
crime-fighter travels the globe alongside his sidekick, WWI ace pilot
Miles Crofton, on a bloody search for answers. From Nepal, where the
Shadow's efforts to reconnect with his spiritual masters leads to a
confrontation with opium smugglers, they travel to the frontlines of
the Spanish Civil War in pursuit of arms dealers and a would-be
dictator. Who is the maniacal El Rey, who plots to rise from the
debris of war as his battle-ravaged nation's supreme ruler? And how
will the Shadow dispense justice when he discovers that a former flame
is El Rey's brutal enforcer, the Black Sparrow? Hard-boiled crime
novelist Victor Gischler raises the definitive pulp hero to new
heights of crime noir glory!
