    Comprised of six short works of fiction, The Dorrington Deed-Box follows a London-based private detective named Horace Dorrington. Motivated by profit, Dorrington will do whatever it takes to catch criminals-even if that means killing them. This immoral and dishonest behavior extends to his clients as well, as Dorrington will manipulate anyone he can into hiring him. Outwardly polite, even-tempered and charming, Dorrington is socially pleasant but professionally corrupt. Told through the perspective of James Rigby, Dorrington's latest client, The Dorrington Deed-Box begins when Rigby and Dorrington meet on a train. After appealing to Rigby's paranoia, Dorrington gets hired to save Rigby from a threat that the detective mostly made up. However, as Rigby's narration follows the private detective through his cases, it is impossible not to be fascinated with the way Dorrington works.
