The Saint Detective Magazine

# Saint Detective Magazine No. 2 (July 1954)

This issue presents a mix of established and reprinted crime fiction alongside new work. Leslie Charteris contributes "The Talented Husband," returning the Saint character to England after sixteen years for a case involving Chief Inspector Claude Eustace Teal of Scotland Yard and a suspect named Clarron living in Maidenhead. Cornell Woolrich's "Murder Gathers Momentum" launches a modern mystery plot. H.G. Wells's "The Hammerpond Park Burglary" exemplifies his lesser-known crime writing. Michael Arlen offers "The Crooked Coronet," shifting from his earlier bestseller The Green Hat toward drawing-room mystery. Mignon G. Eberhart features her female detective Susan Dare in "The Man Who Was Missing." Ernest Haycox contributes "McQuestion's Murder Trail," while William Campbell Gault provides "Night Work." Additional stories by Robert and Christine Harris, Eugene Pawley, Jim Kjelgaard, and Ray Cummings complete the collection—a catalog spanning classic American detective and mystery fiction.
