The Saint in Trouble is a collection of two mystery novellas by Graham Weaver, continuing the adventures of the sleuth Simon Templar aka "The Saint", created by Leslie Charteris. This is the first of three Saint books written by Weaver. Charteris, who served in an editorial capacity, received front cover author credit.
This book was first published in the United States in 1978 by The Crime Club, followed by a British edition by Hodder and Stoughton in 1979. Publication of the book marked the 50th anniversary of The Saint, which had been introduced in 1928.
One of the stories in this collection, "The Imprudent Professor", was an adaptation of an episode of Return of the Saint. This appears to have been the only Saint book published during the run of the short-lived series.
