What is Treasure Trail about?

TREASURE TRAIL was originally published in the May 15, 1937 issue of The Shadow Magazine. A map to sunken treasure leads to death for the man who owns it. As deaths pile up, only The Shadow will be able to follow the mystifying, twisty treasure trail. This is a pretty standard 1937 story, which had the potential to be an outstanding story. But it ended up a capable but unremarkable Shadow mystery. It could have used a little more pizzaz. People die, and clues are followed. But that's pretty traditional fare for The Shadow. There are no big surprises, no amazing secrets and none of the scenes smack of the extraordinary. And all of that makes this story just... ordinary. It's still fun to read, but I was hoping for more. The story opens as an old sea captain enters the exclusive Cobalt Club. He inquires for Lamont Cranston. Cranston is not currently at the club, so the staff encourage him to remain until Cranston can be summoned. Unfortunately, he decides to leave. And just outside the entrance to the Cobalt Club, the man is brutally murdered. This is a somewhat atypical opening for a Shadow story. It is much more typical of the beginning of a Doc Savage pulp adventure. Those stories
