The Saint
Taking a back road while on his way to Galveston, Texas, Simon Templar comes across what he first thought was a burning log in the middle of the road. It isn't soon before the Saint is hard at work to discover exactly who the victim was and who could have wanted him dead is such a horrible manner.
My father was a huge fan of the Saint books, but by the time I was old enough to read, they were mostly out of print. All I could do was watch Roger Moore, the best Saint since George Sanders, on television. This story is set during World War II, after Germany tried to invade Russia. We’re given the snarkiness, the smoothness, and the way Charteris had of inviting the audience in on the joke. I do so wish the books were brought back in their entirety rather than just the same five that are constantly reprinted. 4 out of 5.
