The Saint (Pocket Books Tie-In)
joann avatar reviewed on + 405 more book reviews


A man with no identity. A spy with no allegiance. A thief with no scruples. Simon Templay, a/k/a the Saint, is all of these things-and his services can be bought for the right price. Hired by a Russian nationalist to swipe a top-secret formula from an American electrochemist, Templar figures it's rubles in the bag. But the beautiful Dr. Emma Russell proves to much more than his usual mark, and stealing her life's work brings on a sudden, unprecedented attack of Saintly ethics.
Now, with love in his heart, Scotland Yard on his trail, and power-mad Muscovites hot o his heels, the Saint must dodge assassins' bullets, crack killer security codes, and don a multitude of disguises in a desperate bid to save Russia, his personal angel, and his own less-than-virtuous life.
