"The Saint", created by Leslie Charteris. Following usual practice at this point in the series, the front cover credits Charteris, although Lee and Worker receive interior title page credit; Charteris served in an editorial capacity. Some editions misspell the author's name "Flemming Lee."{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} This book was first published in the United Kingdom in 1975 by Hodder & Stoughton, followed by an American edition by The Crime Club.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} Charteris, in his foreword to this volume, defines Catch the Saint as an experiment in trying to return Simon Templar to his roots in 1930s mystery fiction.

This makes Catch the Saint the first original (non-adapted) Saint stories to be published since 1964's Vendetta for the Saint.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} These were the last Simon Templar novellas to be written by Fleming Lee.{{Citation needed|date=June 2011}} StoriesThe book consisted of the following stories:
