Detective, crook and sociopath!
The Dorrington Deed-Box is a collection of stories featuring cases of the unscrupulous London-based private detective Horace Dorrington, told from the viewpoint of one his clients and potential victims, James Rigby.
Morrison had previously written stories about a regular private detective Martin Hewitt (available as a yellowback), but with Dorrington he created a more cynical character. Horace Dorrington, of the firm Dorrington and Hicks, is no run-of-the-mill private enquiry agent. In fact Dorrington is someone who won't even stop at armed robbery or baulk at murder to achieve his ends. In an unusual departure from the standard tropes, these stories explore the darker side of Victorian detectives.
