Лесли Чартерис: The Saint vs Scotland Yard

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

In these three stories, the Saint finds himself embroiled in further plots and facing new enemies. The Inland Revenue sees him up against the most unyielding opponent ever — the taxman. In The Million Pound Scandal, a good deed leads Simon to uncover a plot to undermine the Italian economy, and in The Melancholy Journey of Mr Teal the Saint s retirement plans are scuppered when a couple of murderous diamond smugglers object to his scheme of taking their loot for his pension.
