The Saint Versus Scotland Yard: Leslie Charteris

Three more classic tales in which the Saint finally pays his tax bill...only to discover that the taxman has a rather unhealthy hobby for some. Then a good deed leads the Saint to discover a plot to undermine the Italian economy, and his plans to retire are interrupted when a couple of homicidal diamond smugglers object to his interference in their plans. Not only that, the Saint bests some richly assorted villains, such as the Scorpion - who wanted to exchange Templar's tails for a concrete overcoat; Kuzela - an arch field for whom Templar made the punishment fit the crime; and Perrigo - who was undone when the Saint pinched his trousers...In this volume: The Inland Revenue; The Million Pound Day; The Melancholy Journey Of Mr. Teal. Previously published as The Holy Terror.
