What is Treasures of Death about?

TREASURES OF DEATH was published in the December 15, 1933 issue of The Shadow Magazine. The treasures of the title are all of a literary nature. Rare old books and ancient manuscripts worth over a million dollars are being stolen from their owners. And these treasures definitely do lead to death. Death for their owners!В As our story opens, young Terry Barliss has come to New York from California, summoned by an urgent telegram. His uncle, Shattuck Barliss, lies dying with not long to live. Old Shattuck tells his nephew of a secret panel in his study, behind which is a stury safe. Terry opens it and removes a rare old manuscript.В The manuscript is called 'Les Rondeaux de Paris'. It contains five ballads written in 1455 by Francois Villon, the first and greatest of the French lyric poets. It is extremely rare because it contains the only copy of the elusive fifth ballad.В Terry places the manuscript into the feeble hands of his dying uncle. As Uncle Shattuck flips through the pages, explaining their meaning, he stops suddenly. Where the fifth ballad should be, is only blank pages. Some crafty, unknown hand has stolen the true Villion manuscript and replaced it with a worthless copy
