The Saint in Miami.

CHARTERIS, Leslie (1907-1993).

London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1941. [Short stories] FIRST UK EDITION, first impression. Octavo (19 x 13cm), pp.320. Publisher's pale blue cloth with title panel blocked in dark blue to spine, pictorial dust-jacket by Thompson correctly priced at 8/3. Contents clean, neat owner name to free endpaper, pale blue cloth has a little of the usual discolour but pigment remains strong- clearly not a marriage of book and wrapper. Jacket sunned to spine as usual, one tear to rear joint (taped to reverse side). Very good. Ex Nigel Williams, with his pencil price and catalogue number. Simon Templar becomes embroiled in a maritime mystery on the Florida coast and for the first time ever, must face off against Nazi operatives due to the real time outbreak of World War II.
