Harry Lerner writes:
----- Some of Whitfield's short stories, many he wrote under
the name of Ramon Decolta, reappeared in Ellery Queen's
Mystery Magazine (EQMM) in the late 1940s. One series of Jo
Gar stories that immediately comes to
mind is THE RAINBOW MURDERS published in EQMM from Feb to
July of 1949.
They include: "The Rainbow Murders Begin"
(originally titled
"Diamonds of Dread" in Black Mask), "White Duck" ("The Man in
White"),
"Yellow Death" ("The Blind Chinese"), "Red Dawn", "Blue
Glass", and
"Rainbow Murders End" ("Diamonds of Death").
By the way, does anyone know if this series ever came out as
part of an
edited volume of Whitfield short stories? I know they are not
part of Crippen & Landrau's JO GAR'S CASEBOOK
(2002).

Thanks, Harry.
This story series sounds great--I'd love to hear about a way
to get my hands on it.
Best, Mark Nevins
