Dear Reader: Travel is broadening, we are told, but travel can be dangerous as well. And half of the stories in this issue have a foreign setting as backdrop for chilling tales of intrigue and murder. London’s airport is the scene for a tense, dramatic encounter in William Bankier’s “The Dream of Hopeless White,” while just across the Irish Sea some unsavory characters try to thwart another man’s dream in “All You Need Is Luck” by Jean Darling. In “A Grave on the Indragiri” by Alvin S. Fick, a private detective’s investigation of a man’s mysterious death leads him first to a Sumatra rubber plantation and finally to a quiet garden in Holland. “Three Weeks in a Spanish Town” prove to be a bit more exotic than Edward D. Hoch’s hero and heroine expected, and a young Kyoto police inspector solves a puzzling crime among the shadows of a Buddhist temple in “Inspector Saito’s Small Satori” by Seiko Legru. And to prove that not all the American criminals have left the country, Stephen Wasylyk, Jerry Jacobson, Ron Goulart, Jack Ritchie, and John Lutz provide stories about some of our domestic villains. Good reading. Alfred Hitchcock
