These six stories are all about Slim Callaghan and the cases taken on by his Private Detective Agency. Assisted by Windy Nicholls and his faithful secretary Effie Thompson he takes on a variety of clients and needless to state solves every one. The majority of these clients are women,and being Callighan,all are beautiful 'dames'. Unusually in the world of PI's, Callighan seems to have a great respect for the official police and has a good rapport with Chief Inspector Gringall.
The stories are well thought-out and have clever twists to them,albeit some are fairly obvious ones. They are typical of the age in which they were written,an age and style of which I am extremely partial. ( )
