What is The Creeping Death about?

THE CREEPING DEATH was originally published in the January 15, 1933 issue of The Shadow Magazine. Counterfeit gold. Nearly undetectible, its priceless secret is guarded by horrible, sinister death! To crack the gold racket, The Shadow must face insidious doom in this tale of creeping death. I really liked this one. In addition to plenty of action, there is some clever plotting going on, here. It's a well-written story that keeps you interested from page one to the final page. Everything makes sense, all is explained and there are no loose ends. There is an amazing number of dead bodies that pile up, many due to the unerring aim of The Shadow's .45 caliber automatics. The Shadow is that ultra-mysterious figure that strikes terror into the heart of all who encounter him. It all makes for one of the most satisfying Shadow stories I've read. The plot all revolves around gold. Lucien Partridge is an eccentric old scientist who has discovered the secret of making fake gold. It's a cheap alloy, virtually undetectible from gold. He's gradually introducing it into the world's gold supply, and no one is the wiser. His ultimate plan? To take over the world! To help him with his sinister plans
