The Saint in Miami is the title of a mystery novel by Leslie Charteris featuring his creation, Simon Templar, alias The Saint. As with an earlier release, Follow the Saint, the order of publication for this book was changed. Instead of being published first in the United Kingdom by Hodder and Stoughton, as had been custom for most previous volumes, the first edition instead came out in 1940 in the United States, published by The Crime Club. The first UK edition (by H&S) followed in 1941. Most future Charteris-written Saint books would be published in the United States first hereafter.
After this publication, the frequency of Saint books decreased. Previously, Charteris would publish at least one (often more than one) volume per year, but the next Saint book would not appear until 1942.
[edit] Plot summary
The Saint flies out to Florida in response to a request from one of Patricia Holm's friends. Almost as soon as he arrives, a tanker is blown up, and a dead body washed up practically at his feet. Attached to the wrist of the body is a lifebelt from the British submarine H.M.S. Triton. Meanwhile, millionaire yachtsman Randolph March has been seen behaving strangely; Simon suspects that March knows all about the body and the submarine, and within a few hours he boards the yacht, and places the body in one of the staterooms.
