Editing The Saint (Simon Templar) (section)

===Unpublished works===
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 ''[[Bet on the Saint]]'' 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 ''[[The Saint's Lady]]'' 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 [[Boston University]], features the return of Patricia Holm.

According to the Saintly Bible website, at one time Leslie Charteris biographer [[Ian Dickerson]] was working on a manuscript (based upon a film story idea by Charteris) for a new novel titled ''Son of the Saint'' in which Templar shares an adventure with his son by Patricia Holm. The book has, to date, not been published.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.saint.org/faq.htm#q21|title=The Saint and Leslie Charteris FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions|date=n.d.|website=saint.org}}</ref>

A fourth unpublished manuscript, this time written by Charteris himself, titled ''[[The Saint's Second Front]]'' was written during the Second World War but was rejected at the time; believed lost for decades, it emerged at an auction in 2017.
