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. As he solves
crimes, recovers stolen items, outsmarts scammers and exposes
crooked businesses, Dorrington is unafraid to get his hands dirty.
He is willing to intimidate, steal, or dispose of anything and
anyone standing in the way of a resolved case. Originally published
in the midst of the detective fiction craze, spearheaded by the
Sherlock Holmes creator Arthur Conan Doyle, The Dorrington Deed-Box
by Arthur Morrison is a collection of work that celebrates an
anti-hero detective. Featuring a variety of clever and interesting
works of short fiction, The Dorrington Deed-Box adds a unique and
dark twist to detective fiction. With film and television
adaptations and allusions, Arthur Morrison's The Dorrington
Deed-Box and its protagonist, Horace Dorrington, have earned a
place in pop culture, remaining fun and riveting to contemporary
audiences. This edition of The Dorrington Deed-Box by Arthur
Morrison now features an eye-catching new cover design and is
printed in a font that is both modern and readable. With these
accommodations, this edition of The Dorrington Deed-Box creates an
accessible and pleasant reading experience for modern audiences
while restoring the original wit and intrigue of Arthur Morrison's
work.
