Alias the Saint - The Saint Author:Leslie Charteris Professor Smith-Smyth-Smythe of Timbuctoo was a firm believer in the cheerful hospitality of the English countryside, until he registered at the Beacon Inn, where he was drugged and otherwise treated with deliberate disdain. Of course, the fact that he was Simon Templar, The Saint, might have had some effect on the temperature of his welcome.
Throughly enjoyed, despite my not being my usual genre. (Admittedly picked it up because it reminded me of the movie The Saint which was approx B-movie-level starring Val Kilmer.)
