Description
Curious events almost seem to cry out for the Saint's intervention, and in these stories he is faced with enough peculiar crimes to keep him well occupied. The various adventures he gets himself into lead him to kiss a policewoman, buy a racehorse, invest in bootlegging, dabble in antiques, rent a flat, recover a treaty, get arrested, demonstrate an invention - and always come out on top.Tags

I read several books from The Saint series as a kid. I was delighted to find this now available in a Kindle edition. Cheerful, well-paced, perfect escapist fare.
A nice collection of Saint short stories. Straight-forward quick reads.
