Publisher's Summary:
The Saint is a traditionalist - he knows what a good pirate story needs. Gold, hidden treasure, smugglers, dastardly villains, and damsels in distress. From Bimini to Nassau via Jamaica and Haiti, the Saint travels the Caribbean - interrupting his holidays to settle disputes, solve murders, overthrow governments, and hunt for treasure. Wherever he lands, you can be sure that the ungodly will get what's coming to them.
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 throughout his life, becoming one of the 20th century's most prolific and popular authors.
Members Reviews:
It was OK
I felt a little betrayed by this book. Usually the Saint books are clean--monkey business is only implied. There is a very sexy lady in I believe the first short story of the book and I almost quit reading. Overall, the stories were ok, I like the Saint better on his own turf.
Another great compilation
This book is another great compilation of some of the adventures of Simon Templar. I heartily endorse it for all adventure lovers.
Saint Saga #30
Seven stories from 1955, set in Bimini, Nassau, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands and Haiti. The Jamaican story is the most interesting, containing as it does a sizeable chunk of the history of the Maroons; as to its political correctness, you'll have to judge for yourself. Johnny's initial meeting with the Saint, referred to in the conversation on the plane, was inCall for the Saint.
(The cover artist for the 1960 Hodder edition, apparently under the impression the the Spanish Main is somewhere in Spain, has adorned the cover with a picture of the Saint stick-figure accompanying a flamenco dancer on a guitar.)
P.S. For a list of all Charteris's Saint books, look up "Simon Templar" (section "The Saint book series") on Wikipedia.

A good book
One of the best Saint novels I have read. It is filled with both sides of the Saint: crime and good deeds. Even if you are not a fan of the saint, you will enjoy this book.
