HELEN McCLOY:

This is McCloy's output, with year of publication, alternate titles (if any), Swedish titles, and the detective of the story. Nos. 30-33 are those short stories that have not been collected in book-form. At the very end of the list (nos. 34-35) are two short stories that I have not been able to find except in Swedish translation. Any help with these would be greatly appreciated.
