Suggested Books about Gentleman Thieves

Leslie Charteris' Simon Templar, alias The Saint, was one of the finest in the Gentleman Thief genre of fiction. If you haven't read all of the Saint books, you should certainly start there, but if you are a Saint fan looking for more of the good stuff, here is a list of some of my favorties in the same familliar vein.

Please e-mail me if you have any other suggestions that I have completely overlooked.

I have linked all of these titles to Amazon.com, Inc. so that you can instantly order any that look good to you. I have ordered a few books from these folks myself, and have been very happy with their service. An additional benefit is that if you order a book by clicking from here, we do get a small referral fee that helps to sustain this site.
