Recommended Reading: 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.
E. W. Hornung (Raffles)
Maurice Leblanc (Arsène Lupin)
Cary Grant/Alfred Hitchcock (The Cat)
John Creasey (The Toff)
John Creasey (The Baron)
Pierre Souvestre and Marcel Allain (Fantômas)
Lawrence Block (Bernie Rhodenbarr, alias The Burglar)
H. C. McNeile, aka Sapper (Bulldog Drummond)
Baroness Emmuska Orczy (The Scarlet Pimpernel)
Leslie Charteris (The Saint)
