Beschreibung

This issue, we have quite an interesting lineup. We have mysteries from returning favorites Veronica Leigh and Robert Lopresti (thanks to Acquiring Editors Michael Bracken and Barb Goffman), as well as a boxing crime story from classic author Jack Ritchie. Our mystery novel is by Izola Forester, a romantic suspense tale from the Golden Age. And of course we have a new solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction front, we have an original tale from Damir Salkovic and a classic pulp novelet by Arthur Leo Zagat. For fantasy, we have a hauntingly beautiful story from Nina Kirki Hoffman, plus two dark fantasies from British authors John S. Glasby and his son, Edmund Glasby.
 
Those who like to count things may have noticed an extra story this issue. Nina Hoffman’s contribution is very short, so we slipped in one more. Enjoy!

    Knowledge is (power) peril... 
    In a city as large as Chicago, the wicked never sleep. When an undocumented migrant teenager goes missing, military veteran and Special Agent Amelia Storm teams up with her partner to take down what could be the most shocking forced labor and sex trafficking ring her hometown has ever seen. 
    The case reeks of mafia involvement, but even with an investigative reporter as an informant, there’s little in the way of leads. Suspicions cast a wide web, and the stakes climb when the boy’s sister and their journalist informant also disappear. Still, no one is talking, and every second counts if they hope to find them alive. 
    As sinister secrets are unearthed, Amelia won’t stop until she frees the innocent from the evil that lurks in the shadows of her beloved city. What she discovers hits a little too close to home. Was her brother involved? She needs to know, but some answers are better left unasked. 
    From the dark minds of Mary Stone and Amy Wilson comes Storm’s Peril, book two of the Amelia Storm Series, where you’ll be tempted to peek through the curtains to be sure evil hasn’t chosen you.

    Jeannie is in trouble. After the loss of her husband, everyone around her is pressuring her to leave her precious farm, including an incredibly persistent realtor who won’t name her client. But when that realtor ends up dead, killed by mistake when she borrows Jeannie’s car, it becomes clear that her client won’t take no for an answer. Who wants Jeannie’s land so badly that they are willing to kill her for it? And why her farm when there are plenty around her for sale? To find the answer, Jeannie joins forces with off-duty cop Derek and finds refuge with the young back-to-the-land tenants who rent a section of her farm. Set in her ways at 60, Jeannie must learn to open her mind — and her heart — in her quest to find the killer, all while grappling with ghosts from her past and wrestling with the question of land transfer and ownership. Will the next generation love her farm as intensely as she does? And will she survive long enough to find out?
