The Saint Detective Magazine, April 1956

# Catalog Note

This April 1956 issue of The Saint Detective Magazine contains seven mystery and detective stories. The featured novelet is Leslie Charteris's "The Prince of Cherkessia," in which Inspector Teal warns the titular prince—a despotic ruler from the Caucasus who openly boasts in press interviews of selling women to harems and exercising medieval droit de seigneur—that the Saint will likely attempt to steal his newly commissioned £100,000 crown. Other stories include Craig Rice's "The Frightened Millionaire" featuring attorney John J. Malone, connecting a million-dollar auto-accident lawsuit to a murdered sailor; MacKinlay Kantor's "The Light at Three O'Clock"; G.K. Chesterton's Father Brown tale "The Worst Crime in the World"; Anthony Gilbert's "The Sequel to Murder"; Frederick Nebel's cops-and-gangsters novelet "Ghost of a Chance"; and works by Eric Frank Russell and Norman Daniels. Editor Charteris's prefatory note remarks on the limited pool of elite short-story writers available, justifying recurring contributors.
