The Dorrington Deed-Box

Mr. Horace Dorrington, of the Dorrington & Hicks private inquiry agency, is a skilled investigator...though not what you might call a GOOD one. For he is an inveterate and unrepentant scoundrel, out to feather his own nest, never mind if he fleeces the criminal - or, indeed, his client - in the process. From nefarious activities on the high seas to shady dealings within the worlds of both horse- and bicycle-racing, from unearthing an old man's squirrelled-away money to hunting down a fabulous diamond, Dorrington charms his way through cases with always one eye on the prize...
