This May 1960 issue of The Saint Mystery Magazine features fiction centered on Leslie Charteris's gentleman thief character. The lead story, "The Saint and the Story of a Dead Man," is by Charteris himself. Other fiction includes "Intrigue at Paozan" by Lawrence G. Blochman, "Two Men" by Louis Golding, a story by Ruth Wilson, "Appleby's Fables" by Michael Innes, and "Accessory Before the Fact" by Russell Janney. The issue includes regular features: "The Saint's Ratings" and "What's New in Crime," both monthly columns edited by Hans Stefan Santesson. An editorial from Charteris addresses reader letters criticizing his views on actors' portrayals of the Saint character; he defends his opinion that actors like Louis Hayward and George Sanders were miscast, while praising alternatives like Ronald Colman and Cary Grant.
