One day, the story of how he came by that nickname may be told: it is a good story, in its way, though it goes back to the days when the Saint was nineteen, and almost as respectable as he looked. But the name had stuck. It was inevitable that it should stick, for obviously it had been destined to him from the beginning. </p> </div></blockquote> <p>Templar has aliases, often using the initials S.T. such as "Sebastian Tombs" or "Sugarman Treacle". Blessed with boyish humour, he makes humorous remarks and leaves a "<a href="/wiki/Calling_card_(crime)" title="Calling card (crime)">calling card</a>" at his "crimes," a stick figure of a man with a halo over his head. This is used as the logo of the books, the films, and the three TV series. Supposedly, the stick figure was created by Charteris when he was a boy, "...drawing cartoons for his own four-page magazine at 10...."<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>He is described as "a buccaneer in the suits of <a href="/wiki/Savile_Row" title="Savile Row">Savile Row</a>, amused, cool, debonair, with hell-for-leather blue eyes and a saintly smile".<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>His origin remains a mystery; he is explicitly British, but in early books (e.g. <i><a href="/wiki/Meet_the_Tiger" title="Meet the Tiger">Meet the Tiger</a></i>) there are references which suggest that he had spent some time in the United States battling <a href="/wiki/Prohibition_in_the_United_States" title="Prohibition in the United States">Prohibition</a> villains. Presumably, his acquaintance with Bronx sidekick Hoppy Uniatz dates from this period. In the books, his income is derived from the pockets of the "ungodly" (as he terms those who live by a lesser moral code than his own), whom he is given to "socking on the boko." There are references to a "ten percent collection fee" to cover expenses when he extracts large sums from victims, the remainder being returned to the owners, given to charity, shared among Templar's colleagues, or some combination of those possibilities. </p><p>Templar's targets include corrupt politicians, warmongers, and other low life. "He claims he's a Robin Hood," says one victim, "but to me he's just a robber and a hood."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Robin Hood appears to be one inspiration for the character; Templar stories were often promoted as featuring "The Robin Hood of modern crime," and this phrase to describe Templar appears in several stories. A term used by Templar to describe his acquisitions is "<a href="/wiki/Boodle" title="Boodle">boodle</a>," a term also applied to the <a href="/wiki/Boodle_(short_story_collection)" title="Boodle (short story collection)">short story collection</a>. </p><p>The Saint has a dark side, as he is willing to ruin the lives of the "ungodly," and even kill them, if he feels that more innocent lives can be saved. In the early books, Templar refers to this as murder, although he considers his actions justified and righteous, a view usually shared by partners and colleagues. Several adventures centre on his intention to kill. (For example, "Arizona" in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_Goes_West" title="The Saint Goes West">The Saint Goes West</a></i> has Templar planning to kill a <a href="/wiki/Nazism" title="Nazism">Nazi</a> scientist.) </p><p>During the 1920s and early 1930s, the Saint is fighting European arms dealers, drug runners, and <a href="/wiki/White_slavery" title="White slavery">white slavers</a> while based in his London home. His battles with Rayt Marius mirror the 'four rounds with Carl Petersen' of <a href="/wiki/Bulldog_Drummond" title="Bulldog Drummond">Bulldog Drummond</a>. During the first half of the 1940s, Charteris cast Templar as a willing operative of the American government, fighting Nazi interests in the United States during World War II. </p><p>Beginning with the "Arizona" novella, Templar is fighting his own war against Germany. <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_Steps_In" title="The Saint Steps In">The Saint Steps In</a></i> reveals that Templar is operating on behalf of a mysterious American government official known as Hamilton who appears again in the next WWII-era Saint book, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_on_Guard" title="The Saint on Guard">The Saint on Guard</a>,</i> and Templar is shown continuing to act as a secret agent for Hamilton in the first post-war novel, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_Sees_it_Through" title="The Saint Sees it Through">The Saint Sees it Through</a>.</i> The later books move from confidence games, murder mysteries, and wartime espionage, and place Templar as a global adventurer. </p><p>According to <i>Saint</i> historian <a href="/wiki/Burl_Barer" title="Burl Barer">Burl Barer</a>, Charteris made the decision to remove Templar from his usual confidence-game trappings, not to mention his usual co-stars Uniatz, girlfriend <a href="/wiki/Patricia_Holm" title="Patricia Holm">Patricia Holm</a>, valet Orace, and police foil <a href="/wiki/Claud_Eustace_Teal" title="Claud Eustace Teal">Claud Eustace Teal</a>, as they were all inappropriate for the post-war stories he was writing.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Although the Saint functions as an ordinary detective in some stories, others depict ingenious plots to get even with <a href="/wiki/Vanity_press" title="Vanity press">vanity publishers</a> and other rip-off artists, greedy bosses who exploit their workers, con men, etc. </p><p>Charteris gave Templar interests and quirks as the series went on. Early talents as an amateur poet and songwriter were displayed, often to taunt villains, though the novella <i><a href="/wiki/The_Holy_Terror_(short_story_collection)" title="The Holy Terror (short story collection)">The Inland Revenue</a></i> established that poetry was also a hobby. That story revealed that Templar had written an adventure novel featuring a South American hero not far removed from The Saint himself. </p><p>Templar also on occasion would break the <a href="/wiki/Fourth_wall" title="Fourth wall">fourth wall</a> in an almost <a href="/wiki/Metafiction" title="Metafiction">metafictional</a> sense, making references to being part of a story and mentioning in one early story how he cannot be killed so early on; the 1960s television series would also have Templar address viewers. Charteris in his narrative also frequently breaks the fourth wall by making references to the "chronicler" of the Saint's adventures and directly addressing the reader. In the story "The Sizzling Saboteur" in <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_on_Guard" title="The Saint on Guard">The Saint on Guard</a></i> Charteris inserts his own name. In the story "Judith" in <i><a href="/wiki/Saint_Errant" title="Saint Errant">Saint Errant</a></i> is the line, "'This,' the Saint said to nobody in particular, 'sounds like one of those stories that fellow Charteris might write.'" Furthermore, in the 1955 story "The Unkind Philanthropist," published in the collection <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_on_the_Spanish_Main" title="The Saint on the Spanish Main">The Saint on the Spanish Main</a>,</i> Templar states outright that (in his fictional universe) his adventures are indeed written about by a man named Leslie Charteris. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Other_recurring_characters">Other recurring characters</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Saint_(Simon_Templar)&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Other recurring characters"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The Saint has many partners, though none last throughout the series. For the first half until the late 1940s, the most recurrent is Patricia Holm, his girlfriend, who was introduced in the first story, the 1928 novel <i><a href="/wiki/Meet_the_Tiger" title="Meet the Tiger">Meet the Tiger</a>,</i> in which she shows herself a capable adventurer. Holm appeared erratically throughout the series, sometimes disappearing for books at a time. Templar and Holm lived together in a time when common-law relationships were uncommon and, in some areas, illegal. </p><p>They have an easy, non-binding relationship, as Templar is shown flirting with other women from time to time. However, his heart remains true to Holm in the early books, culminating in his considering marriage in the novella <i><a href="/wiki/The_Holy_Terror_(short_story_collection)" title="The Holy Terror (short story collection)">The Melancholy Journey of Mr. Teal</a>,</i> only to have Holm say that she had no interest in marrying. Holm disappeared in the late 1940s, and according to Barer's history of <i>The Saint,</i> Charteris refused to allow Templar a steady girlfriend, or Holm to return. (However, according to the Saintly Bible website, Charteris did write a film story that would have seen Templar encountering a son he had had with Holm.) Holm's final appearance as a character was in the short stories "Iris," "Lida," and "Luella," contained within the 1948 collection <i><a href="/wiki/Saint_Errant" title="Saint Errant">Saint Errant</a>;</i> the next direct reference to her does not appear in print until the 1983 novel <i><a href="/wiki/Salvage_for_the_Saint" title="Salvage for the Saint">Salvage for the Saint</a>.</i> </p><p>Another recurring character, <a href="/wiki/Scotland_Yard" title="Scotland Yard">Scotland Yard</a> Inspector Claud Eustace Teal, could be found attempting to put the Saint behind bars, although in some books they work in partnership. In <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_in_New_York" title="The Saint in New York">The Saint in New York</a>,</i> Teal's American counterpart, <a href="/wiki/New_York_City_Police_Department" title="New York City Police Department">NYPD</a> Inspector John Henry Fernack, was introduced, and he would become, like Teal, an <a href="/wiki/Inspector_Lestrade" title="Inspector Lestrade">Inspector Lestrade</a>-like foil and pseudo-nemesis in a number of books, notably the American-based World War II novels of the 1940s. </p> <figure class="mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:SaintGetaway.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/0/0d/SaintGetaway.jpg/200px-SaintGetaway.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="337" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/0/0d/SaintGetaway.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="243" data-file-height="409" /></a><figcaption>Many Saint novels were reprinted in new editions in the 1960s to capitalise on the popular <a href="/wiki/The_Saint_(TV_series)" title="The Saint (TV series)">television series</a>, starring <a href="/wiki/Roger_Moore" title="Roger Moore">Roger Moore</a>.</figcaption></figure> <p>The Saint had a band of compatriots, including Roger Conway, Norman Kent, Archie Sheridan, Richard "Dicky" Tremayne (a name that appeared in the 1990s TV series, <i><a href="/wiki/Twin_Peaks" title="Twin Peaks">Twin Peaks</a></i>), Peter Quentin, Monty Hayward, and his ex-military valet, Orace. </p><p>In later stories, the dim-witted and constantly soused but reliable American thug Hoppy Uniatz was at Templar's side.

Burl Barer reveals that an obscure early work, <i><a href="/wiki/Daredevil_(novel)" title="Daredevil (novel)">Daredevil</a></i>, not only featured a heroic lead who shared "Saintly" traits (down to driving the same make of car) but also shared his adventures with Inspector Claud Eustace Teal—a character later a regular in Saint books. Barer writes that several early Saint stories were rewritten from non-Saint stories, including the novel <i><a href="/wiki/She_Was_a_Lady" title="She Was a Lady">She Was a Lady</a></i>, which appeared in magazine form featuring a different lead character. </p><p>Charteris utilized three formats for delivering his stories. Besides full-length novels, he wrote novellas for the most part published in magazines, notably developing the character in the pages of the British story-paper <i>The Thriller</i> under the tutelage of Monty Hayden, who was developing the ″Desperado″<sup id="cite_ref-10" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> character type for the magazine, and these were later collected in hardback books collecting two or three stories per volume. He also wrote <a href="/wiki/Short_story" title="Short story">short stories</a> featuring the character, again mostly for magazines and later compiled into omnibus editions. In later years these short stories carried a common theme, such as the women Templar meets or exotic places he visits. With the exception of <i>Meet the Tiger</i>, chapter titles of Templar novels usually contain a descriptive phrase describing the events of the chapter; for example, Chapter Four of <i><a href="/wiki/Knight_Templar_(The_Saint)" title="Knight Templar (The Saint)">Knight Templar</a></i> is titled "How Simon Templar dozed in the Green Park and discovered a new use for toothpaste". </p><p>Although Charteris's novels and novellas had more conventional thriller plots than his confidence game short stories, both novels and stories are admired. As in the past, the appeal lies in the vitality of the character, a hero who can go into a brawl and come out with his hair combed and who, faced with death, lights a cigarette and taunts his enemy with the signature phrase "<a href="/wiki/Said_the_actress_to_the_bishop" title="Said the actress to the bishop">As the actress said to the bishop</a> ..." </p><p>The period of the books begins in the 1920s and moves to the 1970s as the 50 books progress (the character being seemingly ageless). In early books most activities are illegal, although directed at villains. In later books, this becomes less so. In books written during World War II, the Saint was recruited by the government to help track spies and similar undercover work.<sup id="cite_ref-11" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Later he became a cold warrior fighting <a href="/wiki/Communism" title="Communism">Communism</a>. The quality of writing also changes; early books have a freshness which becomes replaced by cynicism in later works. A few Saint stories crossed into science fiction and fantasy, "The Man Who Liked Ants" and the early novel <i><a href="/wiki/The_Last_Hero_(The_Saint)" title="The Last Hero (The Saint)">The Last Hero</a></i> being examples; one Saint short story, "The Darker Drink" (also published as "Dawn"), was even published in the October 1952 issue of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Magazine_of_Fantasy_%26_Science_Fiction" title="The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction">The Magazine of Fantasy & Science Fiction</a></i>.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> When early Saint books were republished in the 1960s to the 1980s, it was not uncommon to see freshly written introductions by Charteris apologizing for the out-of-date tone; according to a Charteris "apology" in a 1969 paperback of <i><a href="/wiki/Featuring_the_Saint" title="Featuring the Saint">Featuring the Saint</a></i>, he attempted to update some earlier stories when they were reprinted but gave up and let them sit as period pieces. The 1963 edition of the short story collection <i><a href="/wiki/The_Happy_Highwayman" title="The Happy Highwayman">The Happy Highwayman</a></i> contains examples of abandoned revisions; in one story published in the 1930s ("The Star Producers"), references to actors of the 1930s were replaced for 1963 with names of current movie stars; another 1930s-era story, "The Man Who Was Lucky", added references to atomic power. Although Templar is depicted as ageless, Charteris occasionally acknowledged the passing of time for those around him, such as in the 1956 short story collection <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_Around_the_World" title="The Saint Around the World">The Saint Around the World</a></i> which features the retirement of Inspector Teal in one story. </p><p>Charteris started retiring from writing books following 1963's <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_in_the_Sun" title="The Saint in the Sun">The Saint in the Sun</a></i>. The next book to carry Charteris's name, 1964's <i><a href="/wiki/Vendetta_for_the_Saint" title="Vendetta for the Saint">Vendetta for the Saint</a></i>, was written by <a href="/wiki/List_of_science_fiction_authors" class="mw-redirect" title="List of science fiction authors">science fiction author</a> <a href="/wiki/Harry_Harrison_(writer)" title="Harry Harrison (writer)">Harry Harrison</a>, who had worked on the <i>Saint</i> comic strip, after which Charteris edited and revised the manuscript. Between 1964 and 1983, another 14 <i>Saint</i> books would be published, credited to Charteris but written by others. In his introduction to the first, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_on_TV" title="The Saint on TV">The Saint on TV</a></i>, Charteris called these volumes a team effort in which he oversaw selection of stories, initially adaptations of scripts written for the 1962–1969 TV series <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_(TV_series)" title="The Saint (TV series)">The Saint</a></i>, and with <a href="/wiki/Fleming_Lee" title="Fleming Lee">Fleming Lee</a> writing the adaptations (other authors took over from Lee). Charteris and Lee collaborated on two Saint novels in the 1970s, <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_in_Pursuit" title="The Saint in Pursuit">The Saint in Pursuit</a></i> (based on a story by Charteris for the <i>Saint</i> <a href="/wiki/Comic_strip" title="Comic strip">comic strip</a>) and <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_and_the_People_Importers" title="The Saint and the People Importers">The Saint and the People Importers</a></i>. The "team" writers were usually credited on the title page, if not the cover. One later volume, <i><a href="/wiki/Catch_the_Saint" title="Catch the Saint">Catch the Saint</a></i>, was an experiment in returning The Saint to his period, prior to World War II (as opposed to recent Saint books set in the present day). Several later volumes also adapted scripts from the 1970s revival TV series <i><a href="/wiki/Return_of_the_Saint" title="Return of the Saint">Return of the Saint</a></i>. </p><p>The last <i>Saint</i> volume in the line of books starting with <i>Meet the Tiger</i> in 1928 was <i><a href="/wiki/Salvage_for_the_Saint" title="Salvage for the Saint">Salvage for the Saint</a></i>, published in 1983. According to the Saintly Bible website, every Saint book published between 1928 and 1983 saw the first edition issued by <a href="/wiki/Hodder_%26_Stoughton" title="Hodder & Stoughton">Hodder & Stoughton</a> in the United Kingdom (a company that originally published only religious books) and <a href="/wiki/The_Crime_Club" title="The Crime Club">The Crime Club</a> (an <a href="/wiki/Imprint_(trade_name)" title="Imprint (trade name)">imprint</a> of <a href="/wiki/Doubleday_(publisher)" title="Doubleday (publisher)">Doubleday</a> that specialized in mystery and detective fiction) in the United States. For the first 20 years, the books were first published in Britain, with the United States edition following up to a year later. By the late 1940s to early 1950s, this situation had been reversed.

Some issues included uncredited short text stories; one of these, "Danger No. 5", also appeared as filler in issue 2 of the 1952 war comic <i>Captain Steve Savage</i>.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The 1960s TV series is unusual in that it is one of the few major programs of its genre that was not adapted as a comic book in the United States.

These stories were also later reprinted in other European countries. About 170 stories were produced from 1969 to 1991 (after 1985, the stories were published in the Swedish <i>James Bond</i> comic book). Two of the main writers were <a href="/wiki/Norman_Worker" title="Norman Worker">Norman Worker</a> and Donne Avenell; the latter also co-wrote the novels <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint_and_the_Templar_Treasure" title="The Saint and the Templar Treasure">The Saint and the Templar Treasure</a></i> and the novella collection <i><a href="/wiki/Count_on_the_Saint" class="mw-redirect" title="Count on the Saint">Count on the Saint</a></i>, while Worker contributed to the novella collection <i><a href="/wiki/Catch_the_Saint" title="Catch the Saint">Catch the Saint</a></i>. </p><p>A new American comic book series was launched by <a href="/wiki/Moonstone_Books" title="Moonstone Books">Moonstone</a> in the summer of 2012, but it never went beyond a single promotional issue "zero".<sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <figure class="mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:SaintMagazine.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/9/9d/SaintMagazine.jpg/200px-SaintMagazine.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="290" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/9/9d/SaintMagazine.jpg 1.5x" data-file-width="262" data-file-height="380" /></a><figcaption>One of the final issues of <i>The Saint Magazine</i> from 1967 featured reprints of the Saint stories "The Export Trade" and "The Five Thousand Pound Kiss", as well as a novella by <a href="/wiki/Michael_Avallone" title="Michael Avallone">Michael Avallone</a>, here erroneously credited as the creator of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Man_from_U.N.C.L.E." title="The Man from U.N.C.L.E.">The Man from U.N.C.L.E.</a></i></figcaption></figure> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="In_magazines">In magazines</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Saint_(Simon_Templar)&action=edit&section=15" title="Edit section: In magazines"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The original Saint novellas first appeared in <i>The Thriller</i> (1929–1940), edited by Monty Hayden, a friend of the author, who was sometimes given a thinly disguised role in the early stories. Charteris also edited or oversaw several magazines that tied in with the Saint. The first of these were anthologies titled <i>The Saint's Choice</i> that ran for seven issues in 1945–46. A few years later Charteris launched <i>The Saint Detective Magazine</i> (later titled <i>The Saint Mystery Magazine</i> and <i>The Saint Magazine</i>), which ran for 141 issues between 1953 and 1967, with a separate British edition that ran just as long but published different material. In most issues of <i>Saint's Choice</i> and the later magazines Charteris included at least one Saint story, usually previously published in one of his books but occasionally original. In several mid-1960s issues, however, he substituted <i>Instead of the Saint</i>, a series of essays on topics of interest to him. The rest of the material in the magazines consisted of novellas and short stories by other mystery writers of the day. An Australian edition was also published for a few years in the 1950s. In 1984 Charteris attempted to revive the <i>Saint</i> magazine, but it ran for only three issues.<sup id="cite_ref-28" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Leslie Charteris himself portrayed The Saint in <i>The Saint Goes West</i>, a photo play in an issue of <i><a href="/wiki/Life_(magazine)" title="Life (magazine)">Life magazine</a></i> published in 19 May, 1941.

In 1983, Avenel Books published the hardcover omnibus <i>The Saint: Five Complete Novels</i>, though this was actually three novellas and two full-length novels, combining the books <i>Enter the Saint</i>, <i>The Holy Terror</i> (a.k.a. <i>The Saint vs. Scotland Yard</i>), <i>The Last Hero</i> (a.k.a. <i>The Saint Closes the Case</i>) and <i>Knight Templar</i> (a.k.a. <i>The Avenging Saint</i>). </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="French_adventures">French adventures</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Saint_(Simon_Templar)&action=edit&section=18" title="Edit section: French adventures"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>A number of <i>Saint</i> adventures were published in French over a 30-year period, most of which have yet to be published in English. Many of these stories were <a href="/wiki/Ghostwriter" title="Ghostwriter">ghostwritten</a> by <a href="/w/index.php?title=Madeleine_Michel-Tyl&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Madeleine Michel-Tyl (page does not exist)">Madeleine Michel-Tyl</a> and credited to Charteris (who exercised some editorial control). The French books were generally novelisations of scripts from the radio series, or novels adapted from stories in the American <i>Saint</i> comic strip. One of the writers who worked on the French series, Fleming Lee, later wrote for the English-language books.<sup id="cite_ref-autogenerated1_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-autogenerated1-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Unpublished_works">Unpublished works</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Saint_(Simon_Templar)&action=edit&section=19" title="Edit section: Unpublished works"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Burl Barer's history of the Saint identifies two manuscripts that to date have not been published. The first is a collaboration between Charteris and Fleming Lee called <i><a href="/wiki/Bet_on_the_Saint" title="Bet on the Saint">Bet on the Saint</a></i> that was rejected by Doubleday, the American publishers of the Saint series. Charteris, Barer writes, chose not to submit it to his United Kingdom publishers, Hodder & Stoughton. The rejection of the manuscript by Doubleday meant that The Crime Club's long-standing right of first refusal on any new Saint works was now ended and the manuscript was then submitted to other United States publishers, without success. Barer also tells of a 1979 novel titled <i><a href="/wiki/The_Saint%27s_Lady" title="The Saint's Lady">The Saint's Lady</a></i> by a Scottish fan, Joy Martin, which had been written as a present for and as a tribute to Charteris. Charteris was impressed by the manuscript and attempted to get it published, but it too was ultimately rejected. The manuscript, which according to Barer is in the archives of <a href="/wiki/Boston_University" title="Boston University">Boston University</a>, features the return of Patricia Holm. </p><p>According to the Saintly Bible website, at one time Leslie Charteris biographer <a href="/wiki/Ian_Dickerson" title="Ian Dickerson">Ian Dickerson</a> was working on a manuscript (based upon a film story idea by Charteris) for a new novel titled <i>Son of the Saint</i> in which Templar shares an adventure with his son by Patricia Holm.

At first, the local council (and some of the public) considered this vandalism and removed it, only for the students to keep repainting it. The council eventually gave up, and The Saint has been a permanent fixture since the 1970s. The irony now is that Queensland State Legislation states that objects older than 30 years old are eligible for cultural heritage status.
