The Last Hero aka The Saint Closes the Case. In 1929 Leslie Charteris began writing
stories for a new magazine called The Thriller. Two of
these serialised stories (The Creeping Death and Sudden
Death) were later combined to form The Last Hero.
Although his first books had been published by Ward, Lock
& Co he abandoned them for Hodder & Stoughton (hereafter
referred to as H&S) in the UK with the first
publication of this story in May 1930. It was undated and
issued in blue cloth. The Crime Club (US) published it in
1931. The 1941 Sun Dial Press issue subtitled it The
Saint Closes the Case, and this title was adopted by H&S
in 1950, although Ace/Charter called it The Saint The
Last Hero in 1952, while Avon Books called it The Saint
and the Last Hero in 1953. |
