Enter the Saint: A Positronic Book

By Leslie Charteris

Simon Templar-better known as The Saint-returns in Book Three of Leslie Charteris's legendary thriller series. Cool, dangerous, witty, and operating by a moral code entirely his own, The Saint moves through the shadows of London society confronting criminals, corruption, and conspiracies with equal parts charm and ruthlessness. Leslie Charteris helped define the modern gentleman adventurer, creating a character whose influence can still be seen across crime fiction, espionage thrillers, and popular culture today.

Originally published during the golden age of British mystery and thriller fiction, Enter the Saint continues the early adventures of Simon Templar, further establishing the character who would become one of the great icons of twentieth-century popular fiction. Combining sharp dialogue, atmospheric intrigue, fast-moving action, and sophisticated humor, Charteris created a distinctive blend of mystery, suspense, and adventure that stood apart from both traditional puzzle mysteries and hardboiled American crime fiction.

As Book Three in the classic Saint series, this novel represents an important stage in the development of Simon Templar's world and mythology, showcasing the confidence, style, and narrative energy that would make the series an international sensation across books, films, radio, and television.

This edition presents the classic novel for modern readers, preserving the excitement, wit, and sophistication that made Leslie Charteris one of the most widely read thriller writers of his era. Ideal for readers of vintage mysteries, espionage fiction, British crime novels, and classic adventure stories.

Not so saintly Saint.

Book one in the series is “Enter the Saint,” later retitled "The Saint Meets the Tiger," which was his third novel and introduces the character, the Saint. This is book two in the series. Simon Templar is known as the Saint. By the time you buy this book, you know his M.O. (Modus operandi) or "method of operation." However, for me, my introduction came from the short story "Featuring the Saint." At first, this reads like it is going to be a bunch of short stories until he ties it all together as he takes on the Snake, who is working on a larger-scale operation. He de-scaled the Snake without getting his hair mussed; then he takes on the larger drug-smuggling problem.
