	Leslie Charteris - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Leslie Charteris (May 12, 1907, Singapore–April 15, 1993) was born Leslie Charles Bowyer-Yin, to a Chinese father and an English mother.
		Charteris also travelled on the Hindenburg on its successful maiden voyage to New Jersey (the famous disaster did not occur until the vehicle's second year of operation).
		However, Charteris was excluded from permanent residency in the United States because of the Oriental Exclusion Act, a law which prohibited immigration for persons of "50% or greater" Oriental blood.

	THE MYSTERY READER reviews: The Hindenburg Murders by Max Allan Collins (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Charteris is one of the few passengers on board to have been assigned a roommate, Eric Knoecher, whom he soon learns is and undercover Gestapo agent.
		Charteris casually mentions to a few passengers to be careful speaking in front of Knoecher, and the next morning, Charteris finds a piece of Knoecher’s tie stuck in a window, leading the author to believe Knoecher has either been pushed off of the zeppelin or jumped to his death.
		As Charteris asks questions of the passengers, he grows less and less suspicious of his fellow passengers on the list, and more and more suspicious of the crew of the Hindenburg and of a beautiful young woman, Hilda, with whom Charteris has spent a good deal of time during the voyage.
