In these three classic stories, the Saint investigates crimes that have left the police confounded.

In The High Fence, he hunts down a villain who somehow manages to kill people just before they can reveal his identity; The Elusive Ellshaw sees him on the track of a man meant to have died a year before; and a letter calling for help sends him to a sleepy seaside pub disturbed by mysterious underground rumblings in The Case of the Frightened Innkeeper.

One thing is sure: despite death threats, gunfire and kidnapping, the Saint will go on until his curiosity is satisfied.
