You may be looking for the series of anthologies.

Decalog was the first volume in the Decalog short story series. It was edited by Mark Stammers and Stephen James Walker.

Publisher's summary[[edit] | [edit source]]

Ten stories — seven Doctors — one enigma

Los Angeles. The war's over, the GIs are home, Truman's in the White House and the mobsters are making a killing — as usual.

Into the office of a private investigator walks a mysterious little man with a story that's out of this world. He says he's lost his memory. He wants the PI to help him. When he turns out his pockets, he produces a pile of bizarre objects, each of which restores a memory and solves a part of the puzzle.

And the memories seem to belong to seven different people.

Decalog is a new concept in Doctor Who fiction: a cycle of ten linked stories.
