‘ASK NO MERCY." This is the arresting title of one of Cassell’s latest books —by Barry Perowne—"Ask No Mercy.” None asked—-none given. That was Ricky Leroy’s way! As free-lance investigators he and his wife scented plots, scented danger, too, but that did not deter them from going all out after the gang of the Glass Skulls, or digging into the Skellum dope racket, or, mors sinister still, rounding up in his New Forest lair the absconded American magnate. It is excitement all the way through. Climax upon climax, with life held cheap, and lightning brain-work telling all the time. ‘•AS WE LIE.” K. H. G. Browne is the author of this story, which concerns Mr. Anthony Devenish Ripley and the misadventures that befell him when partly from kindness of heart, but chiefly to win the favor of Mies May ("Ginger”) French —he tcmporarilj'' assumed the identity of his cousin Toby, scratch golfer and wag-about-town. The book tells bow he became Involved with Sir George Culpepper (maker of soap), Senor Juan Jose 1 Ramon y Ortega Murillo (Minister of the Interior of the Republic of Guayacuador). Miss Wanda Weatherby (a voice from the past) and an uncontrollable motor-tractor; how he -was compelled to play golf above his station, and bow, after divers tribulations, It Al! Came Right in The End.
