Alias The Saint: Leslie Charteris

In this volume: The Story of a Dead Man: Inspector Teal becomes suspicious when he discovers The Saint claiming to have reformed and working as an office manager. The Impossible Crime: An unusually bored Templar agrees to help Teal solve a crime involving a man in a locked room who had apparently been shot to death. This story introduces Templar's colleague Duncarry, a New York City detective who once pursued Templar on a case, but is now one of the Saint's inner circle. The National Debt: Templar assumes the identity of Professor Ramses Smith in order to investigate a group of modern-day pirates based in South Wales who kidnapped a beautiful young chemist after doping her with a mind-altering drug that turned her briefly into a mindless killer.
