According to Saint historian Burl Barer, Charteris made the decision to remove Templar from his usual confidence-game trappings, not to mention his usual co-stars Holm, Uniatz, Orace and Teal, as they weren't appropriate for the post-war stories he was writing.

Holm disappeared in the late 1940s, and according to Barer's history of The Saint, Charteris refused to allow Templar a steady girlfriend, or Holm to return ( although according to the Saintly Bible website, Charteris did write a film story that would have seen Templar encountering a son he had with Holm ).

Charteris breaks the fourth wall by making references to the " chronicler " of The Saint's adventures and in one instance ( the story " The Sizzling Saboteur " in The Saint on Guard ) inserts his own name.

The origins of The Saint can be found in early works by Charteris, some of which predated the first Saint novel, 1928's Meet – The Tiger !, or were written after it but before Charteris committed to writing a Saint series.

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in the 1960s to the 1980s, it was not uncommon to see freshly written introductions by Charteris apologizing for the out-of-date tone ; according to a Charteris " apology " in a 1969 paperback of Featuring the Saint, he attempted to update some earlier stories when they were reprinted but gave up and let them sit as period pieces.

Charteris started retiring from writing books following 1963's The Saint in the Sun.

The next book to carry Charteris ’ s name, 1964's Vendetta for the Saint, was written by science fiction author Harry Harrison, who had worked on the Saint comic strip, after which Charteris edited and revised the manuscript.

Between 1964 and 1983, another 14 Saint books would be published, credited to Charteris but written by others.

In his introduction to the first, The Saint on TV, Charteris called these volumes a team effort in which he oversaw selection of stories, initially adaptations of scripts written the 1962 – 69 TV series The Saint, and with Fleming Lee writing the adaptations ( other authors took over from Lee ).

Charteris and Lee collaborated on two Saint novels in the 1970s, The Saint in Pursuit ( based on a story by Charteris for the Saint comic strip ) and The Saint and the People Importers.
