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).

Barrier City, an isolated mining centre, where 'the law is what you make it', was quiet enough when Delaney arrived at the house in Argent Street. Twenty minutes later Rennie was dead, Delaney wounded, and Idris missing. From then on Delaney found himself in a menacing tangle, threatened by a mysterious and deadly force, with Kathy beside him and the alluring Mrs. Cortiss pressing him. When Delaney finds Idris dead in a low hotel, and the White Angel breathing vengeance, it takes all he has to save Kathy, keep alive, and battle his way out. Bant Singer's latest never misses a beat.
