description: The Saint is back. Simon Templar is the Saint—daring, dazzling, and just a little disreputable.On the side of the law, but standing outside it, he dispenses his own brand of justice one criminal at a time. In Paris, a dying man claims his brother can make gold…a secret that men are prepared to kill for.In London, a small-time American criminal sets up a violent gang, only to learn that there are certain things the Saint will not put up with. And in the Scilly Isles, drug-smuggling, drugged beer, and a damsel in distress combine to make for a most unusual holiday for Simon Templar.In these three stories, the Saint needs all his wits to survive—and to stay out of jail.Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919. He left Cambridge University early when his first novel was accepted for publication. He wrote novels about the Saint throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors.
