Solid collection of short stories starring Charteris' anti-hero battling assorted villains, who received something swift and terrible, even if it's not quite justice. Lively and entertaining. ( ) Simon Templar first appeared in 1928 in 'Meet The Tiger' and Leslie Charteris continued producing novels and short stories featuring 'The Saint' until 1963; after which time he allowed other hands to write the books. The Saint Intervenes is a collection of twelve short stories; also published as 'Boodle', which has two additional tales - 'The Uncritical Publisher' & 'The Noble Sportsman'. These are fast-moving yarns with Templar outwitting crooks and con-men at there own game. Natural justice prevails while Templar lines his own pocket and the police in the shape of Chief Inspector Claud Eustace Teal scratch their heads. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

Simon Templar is the Saint--daring, dazzling, and just a little disreputable. On the side of the law, but standing outside it, he dispenses his own brand of justice one criminal at a time. In this collection of short stories, the Saint intervenes to teach a motley bag of criminals the error of their ways. Crooked financiers, bookies, fake inventors, dodgy bankers, dealers in pornography, unethical businessmen, murderers, thieves, and liars--all will come to regret the day their actions caught the Saint's attention. 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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
