(4) | 2 | In these six stories, the Saint encounters monsters of both the human and the animal variety: unscrupulous fraudsters in Hamburg; a confrontation with a rhino; perfect murders in Paris; a temperance leader deserving to be taken down a peg or two; a thief duping tourists in Sweden; and the hunt for the most famous monster of them all on the shores of Loch Ness. You can trust the Saint to deal with anything life throws at him with charm, imagination and steely determination.... Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919.

There were a few people - a very few - within his tight circle of friends and almost astronomical orbit of acquaintances, for whom the Saint would do practically anything. Including even things which under any other auspices would have excited him to violent and voluble revolt. ("The helpful pirate") Because I once translated the autobiography of Juan Belmonte, one of the historically greatest bullfighters of them all, with what I hoped was an authoritative introduction, Simon Templar has by association been assumed by some readers to be an aficionado himself, or even a graduate practitioner of the art. ("The bigger game") Simon Templar suffered neither fools nor pests gladly, but he was never too stubborn to admit that even the most obnoxious person could have something to offer him that might be useful at some remote time in some odd way. ("The cleaner cure") Simon Templar watched with a remorselessly calculating eye the quantity of caviar that was being spooned onto his plate, with the eternal-springing hope that this would intimidate the head waiter into serving a more than normally generous portion, and said: "If I had to answer such a silly question as why I want to be rich, I'd say it was so I could afford to eat those unhatched sturgeon twice a day." ("The intemperate reformer") Once upon a time there was in Sweden a Stallmästar, a master of the royal stables, whose lodge and dependencies were situated at the edge of a wooded park and a pretty lake only two miles north of the center of Stockholm. ("The uncured ham") "Of courrse," said Inspector Robert Mackenzie, of the Inverness-shire Constabulary, with a burr as broad as his boots seeming to add an extra r to the word, "I know ye're only in Scotland as an ordinary visitor, and no' expectin' to be mixed up in any criminal business." ("The convenient monster") | |
