The Saint: A Complete History in Print, Radio, Film and Television of Leslie Charteris' Robin Hood of Modern Crime, Simon Templar, 1928-1992 , my 1993 Edgar Award winner, may be getting a complete update through 2010! Yes, so much has happened with the famous Simon Templar that the publisher agrees that it is time to document our hero's adventures in print, radio television and film since the production of Simon Dutton TV movies, and the pre-production of the movie that wound up starring Val Kilmer, especially with a NEW Saint television pilot in the works produced by my old buddy Bill Macdonald, and potentially starring "a qualified actor of talent and charm" as the Robin Hood of Modern Crime. The story of his adventures over the past several yaers in bringing this latest effort to the screen makes .The Devil's Candy: The Anatomy of a Hollywood Fiasco seem a celebration of everything good about Hollywood.
Mom Said Kill (Pinnacle True Crime) is my current book , but I'm working furiously on a new one entitled FATAL BEAUTY. I'm at 55,000 words of 100,000, and I promise that I'm using many of your favorite words, honest!
Yes, we promised him before, but now you get him.
"...a sober, blood-splashed narrative about justice delayed, but not denied."

If Ron Franscell praises this book, you KNOW it's good! We trust Ron, so we are THRILLED almost beyond human comprehension to have Marek Fuchs join us Saturday 2pm Pacific on TRUE CRIMES!

Why do they call our producer, "MR CIGAR?"
perhaps because Matt Alan calls himself Mr. Cigar.
