This November 1959 issue of The Saint Mystery Magazine, edited by Leslie Charteris, features four stories. The lead piece, "The Saint and the Green Goods Man" by Charteris himself, involves con-man Benny Lucek operating a variant of the classic green goods swindle in Europe, preying on the financially desperate through newspaper advertisements. The Saint, in the guise of "Mr. Tombs"—a shabby, middle-aged insurance clerk achieved through skillful costume and makeup—infiltrates Lucek's scheme. Richard Deming contributes "Ultimate Terror," while Baynard Kendrick presents a new Stan Rice novella titled "Whipsaw." Sax Rohmer provides another installment of his "Tales of Secret Egypt." Wenzell Brown offers unusual reportage titled "God's Ugly Bride." The issue also includes regular features on mysteries and crime news.
