Hey Pen, is it because he was in his blue period at the time? 1902? He didn't start his
rose period until 1905?
Enjoyable story. :thumbs_up

Quite right, my dear! Many believe that at the time, he was so poor he could only afford one color. Even in the Rose period, he used no yellow. "The Old Guitarist" was painted during the blue period, and so far as I no, no variation on the painting was ever done. But a red and yellow version would deffiniatly been much later, probably past the timeframe of the Shadow stories. Well done! http://www.cosgan.de/images/smilie/figuren/c055.gifQuote:

The Gargoyle House by Jonathan Blade
Pompous Acting Police Commissioner Wainwright Barth could not repress a shudder as he exited his official car in front of the crumbling mansion on 64th Street.
The Van Dyer dwelling was one of the oldest in Manhattan. The founder of the clan, one Jan Van Dyer, had been extremely superstitious. Gargoyles leered like hungry demons from strategic points on the roof.
“A moment please, Mr. Barth.” A voice called from behind the Acting Commissioner. “I’ll go with you, if you have no objections.”
Wainwright Barth winced at that voice. Henry Arnaud! Why couldn’t this busybody amateur just leave police business alone?
“Actually, Mr. Arnaud, there’s been a murder here—“
Arnaud cut him off : “Then why are we out here? Any one can see there’s no body out here!” Arnaud commented sharply, peering about.
Silently vowing to kill all amateurs, Barth lead the way to the top floor of the mansion. Ace Detective Joe Cardona met them at the door to a book-lined study.
“Well?” Barth snapped at him.
“Peter Van Dyer is dead, alright, Mr., ah, Commissioner. He was stabbed in the back, just like the warning he received last evening said. But I was outside that door all the time, and it’s the only way in!”
They entered the room. Van Dyer lay face down in the center of the floor, an ugly knife in the exact center of his back. Arnaud glanced at him, noting his position, and wandered over to a window. He opened it and looked out. A gargoyle grinned at him from a point about two feet above his head and to the right.
“What are you up to Arnaud?” Wainwright Barth blustered. “This is the top floor! Those windows are too far above the ground for entering or escaping. Joe says he was in here right after Van Dyer screamed. A man would break his fool neck diving out one of those windows!”
Arnaud slammed the window shut. “Well, Van Dyer didn’t stab himself in the back!” He retorted. He glanced at Cardona, and for a moment his shadow grew long.
“Not everyone who looks sees Joe. But you will. In time.” He chuckled sardonically as he exited the room, his shadow clinging to the wall after he was gone.
WHAT DID THE SHADOW MEAN?
Well, that might fit the last requirement, but....Quote:

Nothing?
Based on the 'higher than God' clue and knowing how 'keen' you are on the subject...
I keep thinking that Cardona did it, but I'm probably missing something.
Cardona is always innocent. That is one thing that never changes. Even once in a novel written by the orignal author, Walter Gibson, AKA Maxwell Grant, entitled The Strange Disapperence of Joe Cardona when Joe looks guilty and even seems to have fled town, he's innocent. ;)Quote:
