Sinopse

This issue, we have an original mystery from Mike Adamson, plus a recent tale by Neil S. Plakcy (courtesy of our Acquiring Editors). Classic mystery reprints come from Dale Clark and Edgar Wallace. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
 
I broke out the Adventure category for Vera Shamarin, by William Murray Graydon. It’s an exciting tale of escape from Russia. Not really mystery, but perhaps more suspense, I thought it belonged in its own category. See if you agree.
 
It’s an all-classic lineup from our science fiction writers: Ted White & Marion Zimmer Bradley lead off, followed by Frank Belknap Long, Ivar Jorgenson, and Edmond Hamilton. Jack Sharkey’s short novel, “The Programmed People,” caps things off.
 
Here's the lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense:
 
“A Reliquary in Stone” by Mike Adamson [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Letter of the Law” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Oystery Creek” by Neil S.

    From USA Today bestselling author Trisha Wolfe comes her most gripping psychological thriller yet. 
    Lakin Hale, true crime writer and victim of an attack that left her for dead, helps crime solvers and victims close cold cases, yet there is one crime she hasn’t been able to solve: 
    Her own. 
    As she embarks on a new case, working closely with Special Agent Rhys Nolan, the details of the murder begin to eerily resemble the event that nearly ended her life. A silhouette of a man haunts her dreams, but there were only two people there that night—Lakin and her murderer. Is the phantom hero who pulled her from the water a delusion, or is he the only one who can unlock her dark memories? 
    Buried in a watery grave of lotuses, the victim calls out to Lakin, unearthing painful memories of what was stolen from her that fateful night. For those that played a part, it’s now time to answer for their sins.

    It’s 20 years since Alice went missing. 
    There’s never been any trace. 
    Until now. 
     
    Until some bones are found in a shallow grave on the cold, bleak North York Moors. 
    But is it Alice? 
    Or Becky? The other girl – who disappeared a month earlier… 
    Two local girls: two families that have finally learned to live with their grief. 
    But now Michael Brady must tell one family their daughter has been found. 
    And break the bad news to the other family. 
    No-one was ever convicted. Everyone’s convinced the killer is in jail. 
    Everyone except Brady. 
    He thinks the real killer is still out there. 
    Brady has to re-open the old wounds. He has to find the real killer. And he has to stop seeing the similarities between his daughter and one of the murdered girls. 
    With the local families waiting for the ‘killer’ to come out of jail, with a boss determined to stop him discovering the truth – and without Frankie Thomson to help him – this is a case that affects Michael Brady like no other. 
     
    The Echo of Bones is the third audiobook in the Michael Brady series.

    When a bloody corpse is discovered in a North London park, Detective Inspector Daniel Graves is the man tasked with finding the killer. However, with no clues and no suspects, the case seems like a dead end. Then another body turns up—and this time, it looks like it could be Graves’s fault. Has his investigation caused the murderer to strike again? Is he dealing with a serial killer? As the case gets ever more complicated, a report comes in of another suspicious death—but this is nothing like any other Graves has dealt with. All involved are convinced that something supernatural is to blame: a demon. Graves is no believer, but could he be wrong? With two cases on his shoulders and the truth behind each beyond his grasp, Graves must race against time before both killers—human or otherwise—strike again.
