The Saint and the Hapsburg Necklace

Meer over het boek

On the eve of World War II the Saint finds himself in the Imperial city of Vienna, his attentions divided between a very sensuous countess and some legendary diamonds -- both of which he is trying to keep out of Nazi hands. Since the days of the Holy Roman Empire, the Hapsburg Necklace has been guarded by the Austrian Nobility. But never before has it had so lovely a protector as Francesca, the Countess of Malffy. And never has it been so endangered. As the Saint and the Countess plot to save the necklace, they discover an adversary every bit as unpredictable and dedicated as Simon Templar. But is he as clever -- or as deadly?
