Whether he is in Cannes, St Tropez, Nassau or Lucerne, the Saint always
finds some action to interest him.
In these seven stories, Simon faces competition in the jewel thief
business, encounters an unpleasant movie mogul, uncovers a Ponzi scheme
that isn't what it seems, deals with sabotage in the world of motor
racing, finds a missing body, tangles with the Russians and rescues an
heiress.
Evil flourishes in the sun as well as the shadows, but the Saint always
stands ready to prevent it.

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.
