Tomorrow They Die — Tonight They Love

From the back:

The Marines were set to hit the Japs at dawn. But now it was night and all over the island leathernecks were seeing their girls for the last time. So when Glenn Manson met Isabella on the beach he tried to file away in his mind every line and curve of her voluptuous body beneath the thin native dress.
She smiled a greeting. But when he touched her she ran off among the dunes. He felt then that nothing had changed. She was still toying with him —as she had done for weeks. It was all over but the shooting — at dawn! Suddenly, around a bend in the beach, he saw her waiting for him. Her dress made a shower of color around her feet…

The Shadow - January 15th, 1933

In this thriller, Lucien Partridge is a rogue scientist who has discovered a method of manufacturing artificial gold — a cheap alloy, virtually indistinguishable from natural gold. Partridge plans to gradually introduce it into the world’s gold supply, with no one the wiser. His ultimate desire? — to take over the world.

If anyone gets in Partridge’s way, there’s the creeping death — a deadly powder, transferred by touch. The exposed victim is unaware that he or she’s been infected for hours or even days. Then, the extremities start to become numb. The hands freeze, then the arms. Gradually the paralysis creeps across the whole body until he or she lies still, unable to even speak. Finally the light fades from the eyes as the heart stops — a blood-chilling way to die. The evil Lucien Partridge is a sinister scourge and only the Shadow – who does know what evil lurks in the hearts of men – can stop him.

This paining sold for $47,800
