Product Description

Review
A gangster story, with three distinct episodes, held together by the familiar character of the Saint and several minor characters. (Kirkus Reviews)

Product Description
Readers are sure to enjoy rediscovering how ably Simon Templar, a.k.a. the Saint, manages to add a little more tarnish to his notorious halo. In this caper, the murderous, seamy life of Paris's Left Bank follows the Saint back to London and silently stalks its prey. This is the second installment of this classic series.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saint and "Poor" Mr. Teal, 1 Mar 2001
By A Customer
This book contains three stories; "The Gold Standard", "The Man from St. Louis" and "The Death Penalty".

This book is written after "The Saint vs Scotland Yard" in which the feud between the Saint and Mr. Teal reached to the bitterest and the Saint ran away to Europe. In this book, the Saint goes back to England to be a headache for poor Inspector Teal again. But their relationship gets a little milder. It is rather surprising that Teal can discriminate between the Saint and ferocious villains in spite of his bitter feeling to the Saint.

All the three stories are much better plotted than earlier Saint novels (such as "Knight Templar" and "Alias the Saint" I read before). The stories are fast-paced and action-packed. And the endings are sophisticated; the Saint gets rid of villains illegally as always, but he shows various solutions, not just kill them.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Saint at his best, 20 Mar 1997
By A Customer
The Saint, one of mystery's more unique characters, was the subject of over 40 books, many movies, and a television series. Simon Templar, the Robin Hood of Modern Crime was more than a dectective, more than a criminal -- a law to himself. In the name of Justice The Saint preyed on criminals and con artists that the Law could not or would not touch. At the same time he tweeked the noses of Scotland Yard, specifically Chief Inspector Teal. If you are looking for a hero with the morals of a pirate and the sense of humor of PG Wodehouse, the Saint is one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Classic Saint, 18 Jan 2000
By A Customer
This 3 story collection follows on directly from the events related in "The Saint's Getaway" and details the Saint's return to London.

In the first story, "The Gold Standard" - also available in the "Fantastic Saint" collection - Simon Templar foils a plan to crash the world gold market, whilst "The Man From St. Louis" is sent off home before he can set up an American style gangster underground in London.

"The Death Penalty" is perhaps the most dated story, with it's subplot of beautiful white girl being sold into the harem of a wily foreign gentleman; but it shares with "The Man From St Louis" a glimpse of the Saint's earlier life before the commencement of the Saint Saga. "The Man From St Louis" also includes the first hint of Charteris' own dissatisfaction with the stultifying life of London and Britain that would eventually send him to America, and the Mark III model of the Saint.

In all 3 stories, Simon Templar aids the police in his own inimitable fashion, not always on the right side of the law as embodied in the generous figure of Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, but definitely on the side of the angels. Although an angel with a diablic sense of humour sometimes - witness the departure of Basher Tope, Ronald Nilder and the branding on the cheek of Abdul Osman.

This is a classic Saint collection first published in 1933. It is hard to see why there are not more Saint books in publication. They are such superb escapist fiction.
