Beschreibung

We’ve assembled an amazing selection of stories for readers who love variety. First up, five mystery stories: an original set in the glamorous world of film by Elizabeth Elwood (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a gripping pulp thriller by Richard Deming, a moonshine-drenched tale from David Heska Wanbli Weiden (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and a dark crime story by Donald A. Ranard. And, of course, no issue would be complete without a new solve-it-yourself puzzler by Hal Charles.
 
We also have a heavier than usual focus on fantasy, with dark tales by Gary Battershell and John S. Glasby, a comedy-adventure in Monty Python style from Henry Herz, and a legendary fantasy novel by E.R. Eddison. We haven’t completely forgotten science fiction lovers, though. Here’s the next adventure of E.C. Tubb’s “Space Hobo”—this time on Venus.

    When librarian Maya takes a job at the historic Greywood Library, she expects dusty books and quiet days—not a ghost who leaves cryptic clues in the margins of classic novels. When a body appears in the rare books room, Maya realizes the library's ghost might be trying to solve a murder rather than cause one. With the help of a skeptical historian and the library's charming ghost, Maya must decode the clues before the killer adds her to the library's permanent collection.

    This knife-edge psychological thriller set in the entertainment hotbed of Atlanta delivers a gripping, twisty tale of one psychologist and six talented but dangerously toxic clients who push her to her own vulnerable limits—and maybe beyond—with cruel and unexpected consequences. 
     
    Dr. Victoria Benning knows it’s unethical to discuss the therapy sessions of her clients, but the drama of their unpredictable lives tests her professional role like never before. 
     
    First, she counsels Mrs. Melody, a brutally honest, gorgeous rap artist who relies on sexual leverage with men to elevate her music career. … Then there’s Charles Clay, a hot young film director and master manipulator with a fetish for opportunistic women. … Tyrell Hodge is a frustrated screenwriter, part-time driver, and full-time complainer who desperately needs a break. … Dark & Moody is a music producer who prays for a blood sacrifice in order to succeed. … Joseph Drake, a venture capitalist from a powerful, slave-ownership family, now suffers from a spell of White guilt. … And Destiny Flowers is a hopeless dreamer who struggles to keep her mouth and mind at peace—while harassing the tolerant doctor she hopes will ultimately help her. 
     
    Working around the clock, Dr. Benning observes a troubling, treacherous common denominator that plagues all six clients: a desperate impulse to grasp control of everything and everyone in their lives—no matter the cost. It’s a struggle withwhich she’s all too familiar. Determined to head-off tragedy, she comes up with a brilliant game plan to make their collective talents work in everyone’s favor. …

    While in Vatican City, renowned photorealist Anthony Brunelli is summoned from an art reception honoring his latest masterpiece to an unexpected private audience with Pope Benedict XVI. There, he receives a shocking request: uncover an 800-year-old secret left by Saint Francis of Assisi—a revelation with the power to reshape the very foundations of Christianity. Brunelli has always known of his family's ancient duty to protect a sacred truth, but never imagined he would be the one chosen to unveil it—let alone at the Pope's command.  
    Joined by gifted art historian Dr. Vera Valentino, Brunelli follows a trail of hidden clues ingeniously encoded within Renaissance masterpieces. Their investigation uncovers a chilling revelation about Pontius Pilate's secret testament regarding the Virgin Mary—a truth so explosive it threatens to overturn centuries of religious doctrine.  
    As shadowy forces within the Vatican close in, determined to keep these secrets buried, Brunelli must confront his own wavering faith, ensure his safety, and solve the mysterious disappearance of his father—all while racing to unlock a mystery hidden in plain sight for centuries. The Sacred Order is an electrifying journey through Renaissance art, ancient beliefs, and dangerous betrayals—where the line between faith and heresy may be drawn in blood.

    Berlin, 1989.  Protests across East Germany threaten the Iron Curtain and Communism is the ill man of Europe. 
     
     
     
    Anne Simpson, an American who works as a translator at the Joint Operations Refugee Committee, thinks she is in a normal marriage with a charming East German. But then her husband disappears and the CIA and Western German intelligence arrive at her door. 
     
     
     
    She had been targeted by the Matchmaker—a high level East German counterintelligence officer—who runs a network of Stasi agents. These agents are his "Romeos" who marry vulnerable women in West Berlin to provide them with cover as they report back to the Matchmaker. 
     
     
     
    The CIA are desperate to find the Matchmaker because of his close ties to the KGB. They believe he can establish the truth about a high-ranking Soviet defector. They need Anne because she's the only person who has seen his face and she is the CIA's best chance to identify him before the Matchmaker escapes to Moscow. Time is running out as the Berlin Wall falls and chaos engulfs East Germany. 
     
     
     
    But what if Anne's husband is not dead? And what if Anne has her own motives for finding the Matchmaker to deliver a different type of justice?
