Sinopsis

   This issue, we have 3 original tales. All are mysteries. Plus, we have 1 original science fiction tale, also a mystery. I leave you to unravel this puzzle! (Okay, I guess it’s not that much of a puzzle—one of the mysteries is also a science fiction story.) I moved Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken’s selection to the science fiction section (it was definitely science fiction) and I moved famous science fiction artist Ron Miller’s mystery into the lead spot. Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman’s story, by Wayne J. Gardner, is in the usual “Barb Goffman Presents” place.
 
   For mysteries, we also have a G.K. Chesterton classic and a Golden Age novel by J.J. Connington. Plus, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
   On the science fiction side, we have the “Michael Bracken Presents” story, Avram Lavinsky’s excellent “The Ion Bids Mystery,” plus tales by Cecil Corwin, R.R. Winterbotham, Chester B. Conant, plus a 3-way collaboration by C.M. Kornbluth, Robert A.W. Lowndes, and Frederik Pohl. Fun stuff!
 
   Here’s the complete lineup—
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“Velda Does a Good Deed,” by Ron Miller [short story]“Who Grabbed the Golden Hammer of Thor?” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“I Remember It Well,” by Wayne J. Gardiner [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“The Asylum of Adventure,” by G.K. Chesterton [short story]Mystery at Lynden Sands, by J.J. Connington [novel]
