Leslie Charteris's The Saint Goes West, a 1942 collection of three Saint novellas. A transitional slightly Americanised version of Simon Templar which for me works less well than the earlier and later versions. But the stories are excellent.

In Leslie Charteris's The Saint's Getaway (1932) Simon Templar is on holiday with his beloved Patricia Holm when he gets mixed up with some stolen jewels.
This is the early version of the Saint when he's a crime-fighter but still a criminal as well, and he's reckless, irresponsible and irrepressible.
A rollicking roller-coaster ride to adventure.

Saint Errant, a 1948 short story collection by Leslie Charteris which introduces a somewhat different version of the Saint.
Simon Templar is now a loner, with just the slightest touch of melancholy although of course combined with his thirst for adventures. The adventures are no longer as outlandish.
Very different in tone from the early 30s Saint stories.
