The
scene of
the
story is
New York
and
vicinity.
Notices
have
been
posted
in
public
places,
stating
that
seven of
the
richest
men in
the city
and one
beautiful
girl are
doomed
to die,
unless
an
immense
sum of
money is
paid
over to
the ones
who
issued
the
notices.
The
greatest
villain
the big
City had
ever
known
sat back
in his
safe
retreat
and
laughed
at the
police
and
scientists
who were
trying
to avert
the
mysterious
fate
hanging
over his
victims.
He felt
sure of
his
ground.
His
diabolically
ingenious
scheme
would
bring
him
colossal
gains
and no
one to
resist
him.
You will
live in
the
fast-moving,
exciting
events
with
scarcely
a
breathing
space
from the
moment
of the
dramatic
beginning
where a
beautiful
woman is
mysteriously
murdered
right
before a
gay
theatre
audience
straight
through
from
dramatic
event to
dramatic
event,
to the
finish
where
the Gray
Phantom
calmly
looks
over the
man he
has
conquered
single-handed
and
meaningfully
remarks:
"The
Gray
Phantom
always
wins."
You will
be glad
that you
have had
a few
hours of
excitement
living
through
the
adventures
of the
Gray
Phantom.
Mr. Shei
and
lovely
Helen
Hardwick,
the
feminine
influence
who
brought
most of
it
about.

In
this
story,
Mr.
Landon
features
his
famous
mystery
character,
Martin
Dale,
the
benevolent
"Picaroon,"
a most
attractive
person
who goes
about
plundering
safes
and
leaving
a card
saying
that the
victim
can
recover
his
valuables
by
paying
10% of
the
value of
the
property
to some
charitable
institution!
He is so
clever
that no
one can
catch
him.
Wealthy
and
luxurious,
with a
penchant
for
annexing
other
people's
valuables,
and a
special
talent
for
evading
capture,
this
Martin
Dale is
also a
fast
friend
of the
great
detective
-- who
is bent
on
capturing
the
"Picaroon!"
The
situation
becomes
complicated,
but --
read the
story
and you
will
agree
that
"The
Green
Shadow"
is fully
as
thrilling
as any
story
yet
devised
by the
author
of
"The
Gray
Phantom,"
and many
other
mysteries.
