This two-book series by Blanche Fearing takes readers on a thrilling journey through the seedy underbelly of Chicago's criminal underworld. In Book One, The Shadow, readers meet the enigmatic figure known only as 'the Shadow', a mysterious vigilante who prowls the city's streets seeking justice for the innocent. In Book Two, The Slave Girl, readers are introduced to Meg, a young woman who is forced into prostitution by a ruthless gang of criminals.
