For many years the Saint was at war equally with criminals and the law. That led to trouble, and one day the Saint finally made his peace with the law and joined Scotland Yard. The next day he met the rather lovely leader of a gang and joined her in a venture so daring that before it was accomplished, the Saint found himself facing the wrong end of a gun belonging to a commissioner at Scotland Yard.

Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore on May 12th, 1907. With his mother and brother, he moved to England in 1919 and attended Rossall School in Lancashire before moving on to Cambridge University to study law. His studies there came to a halt when a publisher accepted his first novel. His third book, entitled Meet the Tiger!, was written when he was twenty years old and published in September 1928. It introduced the world to Simon Templar, aka the Saint.
He continued to write about the Saint until 1983 when the last book, Salvage for the Saint, was published. The books, which have been translated into over thirty languages, number nearly a hundred and have sold over 40 million copies around the world. Theyve inspired, to date, fifteen feature films, three TV series, ten radio series, and a comic strip that was written by Charteris and syndicated around the world for over a decade. He enjoyed travelling but settled for long periods in Hollywood, Florida, and finally in Surrey, England. He was awarded the Cartier Diamond Dagger by the Crime Writers Association in 1992, in recognition of a lifetime of achievement. He died the following year.
