Лесли Чартерис: The Brighter Buccaneer

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.
