No, it's 42.
I couldn't resist picking this up even though I know it's going to be terrible.
The author is a published expert on The Saint, so you never know, it could be decent enough! :)
Each book is based on a letter eg A Is For Alibi, B Is For Burglar. But the strength is the way she writes fairly hard boiled Private I books featuring a female private investigator.
Sadly Sue died last year after publishing Y. So, the last book (Z) never happened. Also, she would not allow TV or film adaptations of her books, so Kinsey remains a secret to everyone other than her reading fans.

Hm, I remember the film, though.
I've never seen it. I've heard it's pretty bad. I think I have it in my collection somewhere though. I think Roger Moore has a voice cameo in it!
I'm puzzled that the character is being neglected today. Surely there's some demand for a film or show about a charming gentleman thief? It would be a shame for that archetype to die out, especially in our modern gilded age. As Raffles--the Saint's precursor--once said, "the distribution of wealth is very wrong to begin with."
Meanwhile, in the 1997 novel:
He must have beaten most of his lead by now, surely? Either that or he's very prolific!
For the fan the book certainly installs some moments only recognized by a literary fan, the book is easily better than the final product we saw in the cinema.
Still botched any change for more Saint movie or kicking of any franchise.
