Аннотация

Two intriguing tales of criminal strategy that feature The Saint at his best. In The Pastor’s Problem, Father Bernardo, pastor of St. Jude’s church, has a dilemma: the church owns a three-hundred-year-old jewel-encrusted silver chalice, bequeathed under the condition that it never be sold. But St. Jude’s is a desperately poor parish, and the money from the sale of the chalice would greatly relieve the plight of the parishioners. When The Saint comes up with an ingenious plan to steal the chalice and send Father Bernardo a “donation” for its assessed value, the pastor’s problem appears solved — until someone steals the chalice from The Saint!
In The Unsaintly Santa, our hero finds himself in Cambridge shortly before Christmas, when a string of murders involving St. Enoch’s College are committed by a homicidal maniac dressed in a Santa Claus suit. With Christmas Day fast approaching The Saint must prevent this Unsaintly Santa from delivering anymore deadly presents.
