The Dime Novel Detective" refers to the popular, inexpensive detective stories from the 19th-century dime novel era, featuring iconic characters like Old Sleuth, Nick Carter, and Old King Brady, who established many tropes for the genre, including the vigilante crimefighter and master of disguise. It can also refer to a specific 1982 book by Gary Hoppenstand that collects these stories, or a modern novel like Kathleen Kent's The Dime, which features a contemporary female detective.
