In 1897 Morrison published seven short stories detailing the exploits of Horace Dorrington. In contrast to Morrison's earlier character Martin Hewitt, who one critic described as a "low-key, realistic, lower-class answer to Sherlock Holmes," Dorrington was "a respected but deeply corrupt private detective," "a cheerfully unrepentant sociopath who is willing to stoop to theft, blackmail, fraud, or cold-blooded murder to make a dishonest penny." These stories were collected as The Dorrington Deed Box (1897). Included: THE NARRATIVE OF MR. JAMES RIGBY THE CASE OF JANISSARY THE CASE OF THE "MIRROR OF PORTUGAL" THE AFFAIR OF THE "AVALANCHE BICYCLE AND TYRE CO., LIMITED" THE CASE OF MR. LOFTUS DEACON OLD CATER'S MONEY

In A Ghost Town on the Yellowstone, Mr. Paul reaches back to the year 1907 and to his youthful adventures on a project of the United States Reclamation Service in Montana. With him you start on one of the oddest stagecoach rides in history -- a ride in which no matter how the passengers change at various stops their number is always thirteen, a circumstance to make the driver consult his whisky jug more frequently than usual. The hapless coach -- jinxed to the whiffletrees -- overturns, dumps its passengers into the sagebrush and thus precipitates the founding of the town of Trembles. Thanks to Mr. Paul's keen observation (vitamin enriched and thoroughly irradiated) you meet the first citizens of Trembles -- a saloonkeeper, two Chinese, a scissorbill, and a woman somewhat less ancient than the profession she follows. Thenceforth you participate in some of the most astonishing, humorous, and touching events ever to take place in that part of the Wild West.
