Featured review
The Imprudent Politician
The Imprudent Politician is Christopher Waites (Anthony Bate) a minister for the treasury department.
He is facing demands for blackmail for the sum of £1 million. Not because he is a married man having an affair with a young woman. It is because he gave her a letter with market sensitive financial information. She made money on the stock exchange from it.
The blackmailers tell Waites that he will not need to pay the money over. They just want to catch sight of a letter he will receive in advance. That too contains market sensitive material. Enough for the blackmailers to make a killing in the markets.
The courier who brings the letter to Waites is killed while Waites held a party for some assorted guests. The Saint who was invited found the dead man.
Eventually Waites asks for the Saint's help.
A pretty muscular adventure. Simon Templar gets involved in several fights. There is also political intrigue and a mystery to solve.
Templar quickly figures out that Waites girlfriend was involved with the blackmailers. It was the reason why she never got rid off the letter. Templar is convinced that someone close to Waites is directing the blackmailers.
