Vendetta for the Saint. The new full length Saint novel.
New York: For The Crime Club by Doubleday & Co., 1964. [Crime Fiction] FIRST EDITION, with Doubleday slip loosely inserted (likely an advance copy). Precedes the British hardcover. Octavo (21 x 14cm), pp.208; [4], blank. Publisher's red cloth with black titles to spine, pictorial dust-jacket priced at $3.95. The rear flap mentions 'a very successful NBC-TV series starring Roger Moore'. Contents clean, no inscriptions, crisp jacket. A fine copy. 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.
