This review is from: Thieves' Picnic (Hardcover)

Charteris's own stay in the Canary Isles and his command of Spanish allow him to portray this romp around pre-war Tenerife with a wealth of entertaining detail and local colour.

Following, from Madrid via Cádiz, the lead of some stolen jewels, the Saint and Hoppy Uniatz find themselves unexpectedly involved in addition with the theft of the prize-winning ticket for the Spanish National Lottery.

Another one of my favourite Saint novels.

Variously published as "Thieves' Picnic", "The Saint at the Thieves' Picnic" and "The Saint Bids Diamonds".
