Summary "Meet the Tiger" by Leslie Charteris is a novel written in the mid-20th century. The book introduces Simon Templar, known as the Saint, who becomes embroiled in a web of intrigue and danger shortly after moving to the quiet village of Baycombe. As Templar settles into his unconventional home, the Pill Box, he quickly learns that excitement is lurking just beneath the surface of the village's placid exterior. The opening of the story establishes Templar's character as both charming and daring, showcasing his unconventional lifestyle and penchant for adventure. After a near-miss with a sniper, Templar finds himself drawn into the local social scene, where he encounters Patricia Holm, a captivating ward of the village's enigmatic Miss Girton. As he navigates his way through encounters with eccentric village residents and hints of darker elements, the intrigue grows when Simon learns of a formidable adversary known as the Tiger—a situation that promises a thrilling clash ahead. The initial chapters set the stage for a mix of humor, action, and the classic detective story flair that will unfold as the plot deepens. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
