Dulcet, Dove. Dove Dulcet was created by Christopher Morley (Roger & Helen Mifflin) and appeared in five short stories from 1919 to at least 1947, beginning with “The Value of Criticism” (Evening Public Ledger, 1919).

Dove Dulcet, “the well-known poet and literary agent,” is a wry and cynical amateur detective in New York City. As he says, “There is every reason...why a poet should be the best of detectives! My boy, there is a rhyme in events as well as in words. When you see two separate and apparently unconnected happenings that seem (as one might say) to rhyme together, you begin to suspect one author behind them both.” Dulcet is Watsoned by his narrator friend Ben.
