This book reprints two full-length novels featuring the sinister Oriental master villain, Shiwan Khan, stories that originally appeared in 1939 in “The Shadow” magazine. Khan wants nothing less than world domination and only one man can stop him from achieving his goal: Lamont Cranston, better known as The Shadow. The Shadow is a crimefighter who has the power to cloud men’s minds and, in the 1930s and 40s, was the most popular radio and pulp magazine hero. Shiwan Khan was his most formidable foe.

Lamont Cranston, the Shadow, matches wits with the Oriental master criminal Shiwan Khan, in the first book publication of two classic novels from the original pulp magazine, "The Golden Master" and "Shiwan Khan Returns"
