The Saint Detective Magazine

The Saint Detective Magazine, February 1958 This issue features five mystery short stories and novelettes: Leslie Charteris's "The Bad Baron," about the Saint investigating a jewel thief called "The Fox" who has eclipsed his reputation with recent high-profile heists; Thomas Burke's "Haunted Murderer"; MacKinlay Kantor's "Kidnapped Alphabet"; Carter Dickson's "Death in the Dressing Room"; and Arthur Somers Roche's "Loyal Candidate." Additional pieces include Fredric Brown's novella "The Amy Waggoner Murder Case" and Walter Snow's "Press Agent for Murder." The editorial justifies the magazine's policy of reprinting classic detective fiction alongside new stories, noting that readers cannot keep pace with current publication while catching up on acknowledged masters like Agatha Christie, Dorothy Sayers, and Edgar Wallace. The issue costs 35 cents.
