The book was first published in the United States by The Crime Club, and was followed thereafter by a United Kingdom edition from Hodder and Stoughton. The US edition adjusts the cover credit to read Leslie Charteris' The Saint and the Templar Treasure.[citation needed]
Following publication of this book, Charteris submitted for publication a novel entitled The Saint's Lady, written by a Saint fan named Joy Martin. This novel was not published, so the next book to appear was Count on the Saint.[citation needed]
