Hi Richard,
I have been wanting to tell you how well I think this is imagined and written. If I have a nit or two, one would be that it was a little hard at first to figure out the shadow was only targeting banks, and two, the name of the shadow itself. I don't know if you know this but there was long ago an American radio show called "The Shadow." I have no recollection of ever listening to it and have no memory of what it was about. What I do know is that growing up I read and heard this line frequently: "What evil lurks in the heart of men? The shadow knows." This line was apparently played at the opening of every broadcast and became a common saying used for other purposes. I haven't heard the saying in quite a while, though.
Jim
