Before Simon Templar became a legend, he came to Baycombe hunting a criminal known only as the Tiger.

A fortune in stolen gold has brought Simon Templar to a quiet village on the North Devon coast. Somewhere behind its respectable doors hides the Tiger, a ruthless criminal mastermind surrounded by a gang of dangerous accomplices. With his loyal servant Orace beside him, Simon must uncover the Tiger's identity before the stolen bullion disappears-and before the Tiger decides to eliminate him.

The investigation brings Simon into an uneasy alliance with a disguised detective and introduces him to the courageous Patricia Holm, whose appetite for danger may rival his own. Filled with secret identities, ambushes, narrow escapes, romance, and reckless heroism, The Saint Meets the Tiger is the first adventure of Leslie Charteris's celebrated modern-day Robin Hood.

Leslie Charteris (1907-1993) was a British-Chinese writer born in Singapore. Best known as the creator of Simon Templar, alias the Saint, Charteris transformed his charming, unconventional adventurer into one of the twentieth century's most enduring popular heroes. The Saint appeared in dozens of novels and story collections and was later adapted for radio, film, television, and comics.

Über den Autor Leslie Charteris

About the Author Leslie Charteris (1907-1993) was a British-Chinese author best known for creating Simon Templar, better known as The Saint, one of the most enduring characters in twentieth-century popular fiction. First appearing in the late 1920s, The Saint became an international sensation through novels, short stories, films, radio dramas, comic strips, and television adaptations. Blending mystery, suspense, espionage, adventure, and sophisticated humour, Charteris helped define the modern gentleman adventurer and influenced generations of thriller and crime writers. His work bridged the gap between the classic British mystery tradition and the modern action thriller, combining sharp dialogue, atmospheric intrigue, fast-moving storytelling, and an unmistakable sense of style. The Saint novels remain widely read for their wit, intelligence, and iconic central character, securing Leslie Charteris's place as one of the great masters of classic crime and adventure fiction.
