Notes
- "But in all of the countless novels, novelettes and short stories devoted to The Saint, only twice has his creator Leslie Charteris stepped completely over the line separating crime-romance from fantasy and/or science fiction." -- editor's intro to story.
- Ghostwritten by Cleve Cartmill according to the FictionMags Index.
- Also appeared as "Dawn" in the 1948 collection Saint Errant, in which all the stories were retitled with women's names. (The story credit in The Fantastic Saint is misleading, as it says "Originally appeared as 'Dawn'.")
