Inspector Dickins Retires

Posing as wily Nick from New York, Dickens matchis his skills against a gang of thieves now stirring London to a white-hot frenzy. This collection of short stories, all published between 1930 and 1931, was also published as Gangster's Glory.

"A snappy story of wits pitted against wits, ending of course all to the glory of Dickens." —Detroit Fre Press

"Thrilling tale of a super detective who succeeds in penetrating the inner circle of a criminal club, to disrupt it by playing on the vanity of its members." —Wisconsin Library Bulletin, January 1932
