The Saint Mystery Magazine

This April 1963 issue of The Saint Mystery Magazine, edited by Leslie Charteris, features "The Prodigal Miser," a Saint story by Charteris about Simon Templar meeting widow Penelope Lynch near Marlow, England. The story involves a horse-racing tipster operation in Maidenhead where investors place money and receive monthly dividend payments. The issue includes stories by established mystery authors: Sax Rohmer, Melville Davisson Post, Lawrence G. Blochman, Craig Rice, and George Harmon Coxe. An editorial by Charteris explores jurisdictional questions in violent crimes—specifically where a murder would be prosecuted if a shooter and victim straddled international borders or if a shooting occurred aboard an aircraft over multiple countries. The magazine also advertises the Puzzle Lovers Club, offering monthly cash prizes for crossword puzzle contests.
