William Irish, _The Dancing Detective_ Lippincott, 1946; Hutchinson, 1948; Popular Library #309, 1951.

'The Dancing Detective' [1938] (aka 'Dime a Dance')
'Two Fellows in a Furnished Room' [1941] (aka 'He Looked Like Murder')
'The Light in the Window' [1946]
'Silent as the Grave' [1945]
'The Detective's Dilemma' [1940]
'Fur Jacket' [1944] (aka 'What the Well Dressed Corpse Will Wear')
'Leg Man' [1943
'The Fingernail' [1941] (aka 'The Customer's Always Right']
