# The Saint Mystery Magazine, February 1962

This issue edited by Leslie Charteris contains six mystery stories and a serial installment. August Derleth contributes "Adventure of the Broken Arrow," a Sherlock Holmes pastiche; George Fielding Eliot offers "The Murder of King Abdullah," a historical mystery; and Wenzell Brown provides "The Sixty-Eighth Husband." Lawrence G. Blochman's "Death in the Night," Melville Davisson Post's "The Men of the Jimmy," and Donald A. Yates's "Proof Positive" round out the detective fiction. Charteris himself opens the issue with "The Intemperate Reformer," featuring his signature character Simon Templar. Additional stories include Charlotte and Dan Ross's "The Trap," William P. Brothers's "Three Men in Search of a Miracle," John Jakes's "Cloak and Dagger," and Edward D. Hoch's "Trooper." The editorial discusses introducing science-fiction mysteries while maintaining fair-play detective conventions.
