CHARTERIS Leslie - Simon Templar swings into action

Created by Charteris, Simon Templar has had a dizzying career around the world thanks to his famous TV series ("The Saint"). Selfless, charming, elegant, armed with a smile, a sports car and strong fists, a terror of criminals, a defender of the oppressed, he moved with equal ease in the salons of the English aristocracy as in the den of thugs.

Templar is a specialist in overcoming insurmountable difficulties and getting out of situations with no way out. A troublesome ally of the police, he repeatedly comes into collision with the rules, but ultimately ensures the triumph of justice. When the police are powerless, Simon Templar springs into action.
