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.

He wrote novels about the Saint throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors.… (more)

Pero El Santo es ante todo un caballero, con un desarrollado sentido de la justicia que a veces no coincide con el de la policía. Y como ella era una dama...
