The Saint Mystery Magazine, June 1960
· June 1960

This June 1960 issue of *Saint Mystery Magazine* features mystery and detective fiction by established and emerging writers. The table of contents lists Leslie Charteris's "The Saint and the Damsel in Distress," a Solar Pons pastiche by August Derleth titled "The Adventure of the Cloverdale," and "The Man with Two Shadows" by Wenzell Brown, which the editorial describes as exploring the impact two superficially similar yet fundamentally different young men have upon each other. George Fielding Eliot contributes a story set in Spain characterized as "extremely probable," while Avram Davidson offers "The Man Who Found the Body," described as gently ironic, concerning how fame briefly comes to an unremarkable man in an unimportant town. Additional contents include articles on Sherlock Holmes scholarship and detective education techniques. The editorial emphasizes writers' responsibility to engage contemporary social issues reflected in their fiction.
