# The Saint Mystery Magazine, January 1963

This issue features five mystery and detective stories by established pulp and mainstream fiction writers. The title story, "The Arrow of God" by Leslie Charteris, introduces Simon Templar (the Saint) arriving at a Nassau estate to discover journalist-author Floyd Vosper—a reputation-destroying pundit and bestselling author known for exposing the weaknesses of prominent figures—has recently been murdered. Present are the hosts (Mrs. Wexall and her sister Janet), Janet's fiancé Reg Herrick, and an eccentric meditating mystic named Astron. The story emphasizes that everyone present possessed adequate motive against Vosper's caustic, needle-tongued attacks. Also included are works by Fredric Brown, Sax Rohmer, Melville Davisson Post, Barry Perowne, Robert Andrea, Fred S. Tobey, and Edward D. Hoch, alongside editorial content by Stefan Santesson. The issue opens with Blochman's humorous meditation on Labor Day's contradictions.
