The Holy Terror aka The Saint vs. Scotland Yard

The Holy Terror was first issued UK by H&S 1932 (MCMXXXII) in light blue cloth. Released in US by Crime Club the same year under the title The Saint vs. Scotland Yard. Reissued in UK with new title in 1949 by H&S and Pan paperbacks.
Consists of 3 stories which first appeared in The Thriller:
The Inland Revenue, first published April 25 1931 as The Masked Menace, where the Saint gets out of a hole and gets the villain who put him in to pay his income tax. Also appeared in Mystery Novels Magazine Spring 1934 as The Saint’s Income Tax;
The Million Pound Day, first published in June 1931 as Black Face, where the Saint foils a plot to steal from the Bank of Italy and gets a brilliant alibi; and
The Melancholy Journey of Mr Teal, first published August 8 1931 as The Kidnapped Killer, which concludes with the Saint trousering some illicit diamonds.
Early editions contained a fourth story, Between Ourselves, which was dropped as it became dated when WWII started.
