Simon Templar tangles with the notorious ‘Snake’ Ganning, tracks down a stash of stolen jewels and busts a drug-smuggling racket. He may not always stay on the right side of the law, but with his swashbuckling charm and Robin Hood morality, he is clearly on the side of the angels. Three short stories: The Man Who Was Clever; The Policeman With Wings; The Lawless Lady.
