Description
How could the Saint possibly resist the chance of a treasure hunt? When his sailing trip along the French coast is interrupted by gunfire and shouting, naturally he gets curious. The cause of the commotion is a group of men pursuing a young woman - and once Simon steps in to help the damsel in distress, he soon finds himself on the trail of a group of modern-day pirates - and searching for a huge amount of gold.

Adequate entertainment from the creator of this amiable con man.

My first, and probably last, Simon Templar story. Charteris uses lots of big words and fancy phrases to tell a tale with lots of out-of-the-frying-pan-into-the-fire episodes which Templar survive due to a mixture of luck and cleverness.
