I felt a little betrayed by this book. Usually the Saint books are clean--monkey business is only implied. There is a very sexy lady in I believe the first short story of the book and I almost quit reading. Overall, the stories were ok, I like the Saint better on his own turf.

Seven stories from 1955, set in Bimini, Nassau, Jamaica, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands and Haiti. The Jamaican story is the most interesting, containing as it does a sizeable chunk of the history of the Maroons; as to its political correctness, you'll have to judge for yourself. Johnny's initial meeting with the Saint, referred to in the conversation on the plane, was in
Call for the Saint
.
(The cover artist for the 1960 Hodder edition, apparently under the impression the the Spanish Main is somewhere in Spain, has adorned the cover with a picture of the Saint stick-figure accompanying a flamenco dancer on a guitar.)
P.S. For a list of all Charteris's Saint books, look up "Simon Templar" (section "The Saint book series") on Wikipedia.
