Summary "The Shadow" by Arthur Stringer is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story introduces the readers to Jim Blake, the Second Deputy Commissioner of Police, who is deeply embroiled in the investigation of a notorious criminal named Connie Binhart. The novel explores themes of law, morality, and the complexities of human relationships, particularly through the dynamic between Blake and a woman named Elsie. At the start of the book, Jim Blake receives a visit from Elsie Verriner, a woman with a mysterious past, who has been linked to various crimes. Their conversation reveals both tension and a complicated past, marked by instances where Blake has had to confront her involvement in criminal activities. As he navigates his duties within the police force and his complex feelings for Elsie, Blake learns about Connie Binhart's whereabouts, leading to a tense negotiation of trust and manipulation. The opening sets the stage for an intriguing interplay of crime and personal relationships, hinting at Blake's determination to capture Binhart and his complicated feelings for Elsie, who may still be entangled with the criminal world.
