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
