The Saint Detective Magazine

# Saint Detective Magazine: Contents Summary

This May 1954 issue of Saint Detective Magazine (edited by Leslie Charteris) features seven mystery stories. The lead story, "The Unkind Philanthropist," is by Charteris and follows Simon Templar (the Saint) and his encounter with Tristan Brown in Puerto Rico, where Brown works as a junior attorney administering grants for the Ogden H. Kiel Foundation—a massive charitable trust derived from a patent medicine fortune. The story includes opening banter about masculine names given to women.

Additional works include Arthur Somers Roche's "The Third Degree"; Octavus Roy Cohen's "The Midway Murder"; Steve Fisher's "Me and Mickey Mouse"; Mackinlay Kantor's "Trail of the Brown Sedan"; and stories by Damon Runyon, G.K. Chesterton, Fredric Brown, Jimmy Rizzuto, Bevis Winter, and Henry Morton Robinson. The issue represents a mix of established and contemporary mystery and detective fiction in a king-size format.
