Simon Templar wages war on an international arms dealer in this early Saint adventure of danger, revenge, and outlaw justice. Leslie Charteris's debonair rogue returns in a story that continues the conflict with Rayt Marius, a brilliant and ruthless enemy whose traffic in weapons has already left death behind him. For the Saint, the law is often too slow, too cautious, or too compromised to deal with men who profit from bloodshed, and Knight Templar puts that belief into action with speed, wit, violence, and style.
Also published under the title The Avenging Saint, this 1930 novel stands near the beginning of the long-running Simon Templar series, when Charteris's hero was still at his most dangerous: part gentleman adventurer, part criminal hunter, part romantic outlaw. The result is classic British crime-adventure with a hard pulp edge-fast-moving, glamorous, morally aggressive, and driven by a hero who robs, tricks, and destroys worse men than himself. For readers of vintage thrillers, classic crime fiction, gentleman-thief stories, vigilante adventure, and early twentieth-century pulp fiction, Knight Templar, or The Avenging Saint is an essential Saint novel from the formative years of Leslie Charteris's career.
