"While the Crime Club issues books based on a definite detective process Collins' famous series of Mystery Novels sponsor...mainly Secret Service stories and thrillers of the type for which Edgar Wallace was famous. The Mystery novels published in this new pocket format have been selected from the most successful in this series". Numbering for this series starts at 201. (from back cover J. M. Walsh's Lady Incognito)

'An excellent and thrilling story. It is the tale of the "Fogmen" who work in the fogs of London and by skilful planning manage to evade Scotland Yard for a long time. The love story of Frank Slade and Lady Anne Sanfild runs through it, and Quaile, the Yard Inspector, steadily works his way to a solution of the mystery.'

Delaney should never have been there at all, out on the Sydney waterfront in the dark. He should have been with Kathy, the girl he'd married ten months ago, the girl who was trying to keep Del going straight. The two of them were meant to be on holiday anyway-and yet there was Del seeing things he shouldn't and starting a whole lot of trouble for him and Kathy. Del didn't ask for trouble this time, he just got it. It was only the first instalment, but the second comes soon after-a chirpy little fellow called Blenco, who holds him up with a gun. This proves too much and Del breaks loose once more. Bant Singer has already established himself as one of the most individual and racy writers of the fast-moving adventure story, and readers of previous 'Delaney' books will be delighted with Don't Slip, Delaney. (Publisher's blurb).
