Sinopsis

This issue, we have an international lineup, with stories set in Canada, Ireland, Scotland, and England, as well as the United States…and realms beyond! (Alternate World fantasy and the Cthulhu Mythos surely count as out-of-this world fiction.) We also have 7 originals—plus 3 reprints and a classic novel, Traitor or Patriot—a fictionalized retelling of the Rye House Plot. For those unfamiliar with it, the Rye House Plot was a 1683 conspiracy by English Whigs to assassinate King Charles II and his brother James (the future James II) as they returned from horse races at Newmarket. Details of the plot are deliberately vague in official records of the time, so there has always been speculation about it (and lots of room for authors to spin great yarns).
 
Here’s the complete lineup—

    In addition to her beloved coffees, Sage is thrilled to be expanding her offerings in collaboration with the local whiskey company that is throwing the festival. But among the crowd of artists and creators, Sage is surprised to spot Left Coast Grinds owner Mark Jeffries, who has it out for Ground Rules. The distillery didn't invite Mark and they apologize.

    Soon Mark incites a loud argument with Harley and is ousted from the property. But later that night, Sage finds Mark's body by the Ground Rules Subaru. She knows that when investigators learn that Harley and Mark had a history of butting heads, Harley will be a prime suspect—and she's right. But Mark rubbed many people the wrong way, and several are at the festival.
