Description	Vendetta for the Saint is a 1964 mystery novel featuring the character of Simon Templar, alias "The Saint". The novel is credited to Leslie Charteris, who created the Saint in 1928, but the book was actually authored by Harry Harrison, a noted science fiction author who also wrote the syndicated Saint comic strip. Although Harrison wrote the majority of the book as a ghost writer, he indicates in an interview that Charteris did contribute to the final book (albeit in a very minor way)..The reference work The Saint: A Complete History by Burl Barer, however, indicates that Charteris was heavily involved in editing the book. This was the first Saint volume published after Charteris chose to step back from actively writing the adventures and would be followed by a number of books credited to Charteris but actually written by other authors. Charteris remained as editor of the books, approving stories and revising material when needed. These books would be mostly based upon teleplays from the TV series or scenarios from the comic strip; the next wholly original Saint literary stories wouldn't be published until the novella collection Catch the Saint more than a decade later.Vendetta for the Saint was the first full-length Saint novel published since The Saint Sees it Through was published 18 years earlier.In 1969 a television adaptation of the novel (see below for details) was released as a theatrical film, also entitled Vendetta for the Saint.
