Kipling Morgan, better known as Kip Morgan was a fictional character created by the bestselling author Louis L'Amour. Morgan is a detective, like the hard-boiled detective characters created by Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler. In L'Amour's words, "Kip Morgan is an ex-prizefighter struggling to make a new career himself as a private operator." L'Amour wrote a few short stories featuring Morgan including "Dead Man's Trail", "With Death in His Corner" and "The Street of Lost Corpses". Several of the stories make up the latter third of Vol. 6 of The Collected Short Stories of Louis L'Amour.
