The Saint in London

The Saint is back--these three stories of Saintly adventure show Simon Templar interpreting the law to his own advantage. In "The Simon Templar Foundation," a poisonous legacy from his enemy Rayt Marius gives him the opportunity to make a great deal of money--if he can survive equally great danger. "The Higher Finance" puts him up against the police, a reclusive millionaire, and the wild beast that roams his mansion at night. And in "The Art of Alibi," he faces the most impudent opponent of all: someone who is stealing his symbol, and committing crimes in his name. 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.
