The Classic Collection of Leslie Charteris presents four thrilling adventures featuring the legendary Simon Templar, also known as The Saint—a suave, daring vigilante who operates on the edge of the law with charm, wit, and an unshakable moral code. This illustrated edition includes Meet the Tiger, Enter the Saint, Knight Templar, and X Esquire, showcasing the early evolution of one of the most iconic figures in British crime fiction.

Enter the Saint follows with three interconnected novellas that reveal Templar's growing reputation and his fight against organized crime with a mix of cleverness and style. Knight Templar pits The Saint against a corrupt arms dealer in a high-octane tale of revenge and righteousness, while X Esquire sees Templar diving into another world of danger, deception, and quick-witted heroism. Charteris's writing is crisp, fast-paced, and full of flair, capturing the excitement of interwar thrillers and the enduring appeal of the noble outlaw. The included illustrations enhance each story with dramatic visuals that bring the action to life.
