The Saint Goes West

Blurb

The Saint Goes West is a collection of three mystery novellas by Leslie Charteris, first published in the United States in 1942 by The Crime Club, and in the United Kingdom the same year by Hodder and Stoughton.
This book continues the adventures of Charteris' creation, Simon Templar, alias The Saint, and is the first of several volumes of Saint stories that would follow the theme of the Saint travelling around the world, although in this case all the stories take place in the United States. All three stories centre on Templar visiting the southwestern US, with the first story being a World War II-related espionage story, continuing the wartime theme established in The Saint in Miami which would continue in the next book, The Saint Steps In.
Charteris would continue this "travelogue-mystery" theme a decade later with The Saint in Europe and successive volumes.
