Leslie Charteris’ bestselling and beloved The Saint Series of novels has stood proudly side by side with Ian Fleming’s James Bond series for decades, and with good reason. Right now (as of 6/22/15) all of The Saint Series novels are bargain-priced from $1.99 – $3.99 each in Kindle format. The sale includes such titles as:
The Saint In New York (5/5 stars, currently priced at $1.99)
The New York underworld in the 1930s was no place for an amateur.
The gangsters tended to shoot first and ask questions later, and half the police were crooked whilst the other half were powerless against a corrupt judiciary.
Luckily, Simon Templar is no amateur. In the space of forty-eight hours, he cleans up corruption in New York and brings the mob and its mysterious leader to justice.
Another weekend’s work—for the Saint.
The Saint’s Getaway (4.5/5 stars, currently priced at $1.99)
The Saint is on holiday in Austria and promising to behave himself, but when he sees a man being attacked by thugs, he feels obliged to intervene.
The stranger seems remarkably ungrateful, and soon it’s clear why, for he is a thief with a prize that men will kill for.
Soon the Saint is in a race against time, the police, and his old enemy Prince Rudolf to keep hold of the loot.
The Saint and Mr. Teal (5/5 stars, currently priced at $3.99)
Three more adventures for the Saint:
in Paris, a dying man claims his brother can make gold;
in London, an American gangster discovers there are some things the Saint just won’t tolerate;
and in the Scilly Isles, drug smuggling, drugged beer, and a damsel in distress make a most unusual holiday for the Saint.
The Saint: The Brighter Buccaneer (4/5 stars, currently priced at $3.99)
“The art of crime,” said Simon Templar, “is to be versatile,” and in these fifteen tales the Saint is as good as his word.
Whilst dispensing his own brand of justice to a rich assortment of villains, he kisses a policewoman, buys a racehorse, recovers a stolen treaty, and plans “The Perfect Crime.”
