The Saint in the Sun John Telfer

Whether he is in Cannes, St Tropez, Nassau or Lucerne, the Saint always finds some action to interest him.

In these seven stories, Simon faces competition in the jewel thief business, encounters an unpleasant movie mogul, uncovers a Ponzi scheme that isn't what it seems, deals with sabotage in the world of motor racing, finds a missing body, tangles with the Russians and rescues an heiress.

Evil flourishes in the sun as well as the shadows, but the Saint always stands ready to prevent it.

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.
