Maxwell Grant [pseud. Walter B. Gibson]. Green Eyes:
From The Shadow’s Private Annals (1977) (Shadow #13) 158 pp. [pbo]
Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? A man is murdered on
the Mountain Limited, brutally stabbed in the chest. His dying words: “Green
eyes.” Cleve Branch, a Federal investigator, arrives in San Francisco to
investigate the activities of the Wu-Fan, a secret, sinister Chinese agency
headquartered in Chinatown. Also arriving in San Francisco is the mysterious
Henry Arnaud—one of the aliases of The Shadow, the “dread avenger of evil.”
The murdered man, Stephen Laird, had been an agent of Wu-Fan and the investigations
converge in a bloody shootout aboard a Chinese junk on San Francisco Bay.
