The first page of an issue of Amazing Detective Stories
Amazing Detective Stories was a magazine that featured the Dixon Hill crime stories, including "The Big Good-Bye", "The Black Orchid", "The Listening Man", "The Long Dark Tunnel", "The National Sheriff" and "The Parrot Claw". (TNG: "The Big Goodbye")
- Interestingly, most of those titles are actual books, as in Peter Chamber's 1993 mystery The Big Goodbye, Edward Ronn's 1959 movie novel The Black Orchid (also a 1988 Susan Rubin family drama), Donald J. Young (2002) and Lucy Embury's (2005) contemporary fictions, both named The Listening Man, and Paul Lester's short story "The Parrot's Claw" (2000).
- The National Sheriff is a periodical by the National Sheriff's Association which began its circulation in 1948.
