Feel free to comment, to state your opinion (don’t post spoilers please) on any of these four stories, or any recommendations you have for any mentioned here. Drop a line if you want me to include the Bernice Summerfield box set Missing Persons among these tales. Any other ranges will have to include a brief intro for each of its regulars.
