What is The Spy Ring about?

THE SPY RING was originally published in the April 1, 1940 issue of The Shadow Magazine. Foreign agents encircled the United States, threatening our national security, but they couldn't enmesh The Shadow!В Here's a pretty average Shadow tale, by 1940 standards, raised a bit by The Shadow's battle against foreign spies. It's all that cool spy stuff that takes a routine pulp mystery and lifts it to the next level. So while I won't say I loved this story, I did like it a lot. Parts of it are predictable. I knew from the beginning who the mastermind would turn out to be. And when the big reveal occurred in the final chapter, there were no surprises. In pulp mysteries of this sort, it's always the person you'd least expect... which automatically puts them at the top of list of suspects. There were no surprises at the end, just the satisfaction of seeing every spy either dead or on their way to prison.В In 1940, the entire world was not at war, yet, but much of it was. If you believed Hollywood, the radio and pulps, spies were everywhere. So it's not much of a surprise that author Walter Gibson had The Shadow battling them, too. The story could easily have been changed to a non-spy story
