Saint Saga #11,
By
This review is from: The Brighter Buccaneer (Hardcover)
Fifteen lightweight but entertaining short stories of the Saint, wherein mysteries are unravelled, swindlers swindled, and many pints of beer consumed."The Export Trade", despite its inclusion here, must be set before the previous book, Once More the Saint, since the Saint has at this point never heard of the Green Cross bunch, who figure prominently in that opus. "The Unblemished Bootlegger" is notable for introducing Simon's friend Peter Quentin, who reappears many times thereafter; "The Unpopular Landlord", my favourite, features not only Peter but old stalwarts Roger Conway and Monty Hayward; and Patricia Holm and Claud Eustace Teal are never far away. Fans of Georgette Heyer or Damon Runyon (for example) will readily concede that it's not the plot but the style that counts; and the same certainly applies to Leslie Charteris. P.S. For a list of -- and discussion of -- all Charteris's Saint books, see my So You'd Like To... Guide.
