This issue, we have an assortment of goodies for the discerning reader, kicking off with 5 mysteries: an original by Steve Liskow (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a Sherlock Holmes pastiche by Mike Adamson (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and an original crime/detective story from John Patrick Nelson. Our mystery novel is a Golden Age classic by Virgil Markham. Plus, of course there’s a brand new solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
