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. Elegantly hand-bound in half black calf over publisher's cloth sides with 'The Saint' stick man motif blocked in gilt, spine gilt-lettered in six compartments with traditional raised bands, original cloth spine preserved at rear. Clean throughout, exterior as new. A lovely fine copy in an attractive recent leather binding. 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.
