Synopsis

   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—

“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.

    Three workers dead. Three "accidents" that aren't accidents at all. And a forty-year quest for revenge that's only just beginning.
     
    When Emma Hartley's friend Sarah loses her uncle Carlos in a tragic accident at the Willow Creek Historic Shipyard, it seems like terrible misfortune—until Emma discovers that Carlos was the third worker to die at the restoration project in as many weeks. 
     
    Each death looked like an accident. Scaffolding collapse. Diving equipment failure. Crane malfunction. But Emma's investigative instincts tell her something darker is happening.
     
    As Emma digs into the shipyard's history, she uncovers buried secrets from the 1980s—toxic waste, environmental crimes, and worker deaths that were never properly investigated. Someone is killing to keep those secrets buried. Someone with intimate knowledge of the site and sophisticated methods for making murder look accidental.
     
    The evidence points to Maggie Sullivan, historical consultant and descendant of the family that once owned the shipyard. She had access, opportunity, and motive to prevent discoveries that would destroy her family's reputation.
     
    But when Maggie flees and contacts Emma claiming she's being framed, Emma must decide: Is Maggie a cunning killer spinning a desperate lie? Or is someone else orchestrating an elaborate revenge plot that's been forty years in the making?
     
    With her fiancé Detective Jake Morrison, Emma races to expose the truth before more workers die—and discovers that the most dangerous investigations are the ones that force buried sins into the light.
     
    Death at the Shipyard is the fifth book in the Moonlight Café Cozy Mystery Series.
     
    Perfect for fans of cozy mysteries with substance, strong character development, and investigations that reveal uncomfortable truths about how the past shapes the present.

Unbeknownst to Kerry, her husband Lucas was not only missing, but a deranged serial killer. Finally out on parole, she is ready to start anew and reunite with her young son. However, when a vigilante group inflamed by fear and motivated by reward money sparks a fevered hunt for Lucas, the nightmares of her past return. 
     
     
     
    Only one person can help Kerry evade the hysteria of the media—her parole officer, Adam Nash. But can she trust him?
