Send For The Saint – The Saint, Book 46, Audiobook Online By: Leslie Charteris
Two other adventures based on episodes of The Saint starring Roger Moore: In ‘The Midas Double’, Saint is kidnapped at Athens airport and taken to the office of Diogenes Patroclos – a shipping tycoon. Greece is haunted by a bizarre doppelgänger.
Reluctantly, Simon accepts the job of locating the scammer, only to track down the impostor in London and discover that his prey has the same story.
In ‘The Pawn Gambit’, Saint impersonates a group of assassins known as ‘The Squad’ and completes his mission with his own special label of justice….
Leslie Charteris was born in Singapore and moved to England in 1919. He left Cambridge University early when his first novel was accepted for publication. He wrote novels about the saint during his lifetime, becoming one of the most prolific and popular authors of the 20th century.
The 2 adventures in this book are from the TV series. In The Pawn Gambit, Simon Templar secretly infiltrates a paramilitary criminal gang. Lots of great action in this one. Another Adventure The Midas Double is about Saint trying to solve an impersonation of a Greek tycoon. Fun and quick read.
I wish I had lived close, in time and place, to Leslie Charteris. Then there will be the opportunity to share stories of the joy of living! What a good author with an innate teamwork that is so valuable at any given time. ZoeV.
