Vendetta for the Saint. The new full length Saint novel.
London: Hodder and Stoughton Ltd., 1965. [Crime Fiction] FIRST UK EDITION. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.192. Publisher's black cloth with gilt titles to spine, 'saint' motifs blocked in gilt, typographic dust-jacket priced at 15s. Rear flap mentions 'a very successful [TV] series starring Roger Moore'. Contents clean, no inscriptions, jacket slightly toned to spine. Near fine. The Saint pledges himself to a strangely impersonal vendetta which takes him to Sicily, where it is all-out, heel-stomping war. With the Robin Hood of Modern Crime pitted against the arch-evil, centuries-old traditions of the Mafia, 'Vendetta' was the first full-length Saint novel since 'The Saint Sees It Through' (1947), all the books since then being short story collections.
