Leslie Charteris - Born: Leslie Charles Bowyer-Yin, 12th May 1907, British Singapore - Died: 15th April 1993 (85), Windsor, Berkshire, England. In 1926 changed his surname to Charteris.
The New York underworld in the 1930s was no place for an amateur. The gangsters were the kind that shot first and asked questions later. Half the police were crooked; the other half were powerless against a corrupt judiciary. And behind them all was the mysterious 'Big Fellow'.
Luckily Simon Templar, for all his suave affability, is no amateur. Hired to find the men who kidnapped and murdered the son of a millionaire, Templar finds himself up against the toughest mob in New York City - including Morrie Ualino, Dutch Kuhlmann and the delectable Fay Edwards. Can he really clean up the City single-handed? Or is he going to wind up going back to England in a wooden box?
