• The Saint to the Rescue

• The Saint, Book 34

In this anthology of six stories, fireworks explode. There’s a dark story about blackmail at a candy convention; the opportunity to turn the tables with an unscrupulous real estate broker; a confident trickster with a deep understanding of mathematics; a scientific invention too good to be true; some respectable woman with a well-kept secret; and a criminal attorney is perhaps too close to the criminals he represents.

Simon Templar didn’t mean to cause trouble, but how can he help deal with it when it hits him?

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 during his lifetime, becoming one of the most prolific and popular authors of the 20th century.

Charteris is at her peak as a writer in this exciting anthology. The Saint’s unkind intelligence, purely personal morality, and limitless resources are at their peak. Some of the grimaces of late 1950s sexism are stinging today, but it’s one of the reasons we can be glad it’s no longer the late ’50s. Fairness above the law is at the core of the Templar rule, and earning a good profit from Ungodly is a guiding second principle. All in all, I have always thought that we need several thousand Saints in the world today!

I grew up on the TV series The Saint and remember when Mr. Charteris passed away. But I didn’t know his career would last that long. It might not be a good idea to applaud his antics these days but these are great stories to test your imagination.

I have always been a fan of the Saint series and I did my best to collect them as much as I could. I love them.
