Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #52.
 
This week, our acquiring editors have outdone themselves—Michael Bracken has an original story by William Burton McCormick, “House of Tigers,” which was a Black Orchid Novella Award finalist. Though it didn’t win, it’s a great story. (Competition is fierce for this particular award, since it judged by Linda Landrigan, editor of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine. I won the first Black Orchid for my story “Horse Pit,” and I haven’t dared enter since—I try to read all the winners, and they keep getting better and better. These days I probably wouldn’t stand a chance!) Barb Goffman also has an original, “It’s Not Tennis” by Shannon Taft, another good one. And Cynthia Ward has selected the modern classic “Whiter Teeth, Fresher Breath” by Tom Marcinko, which proves aliens do have it all. Even better oral hygiene!
 
Plus we have a mystery novel by David Goodis (author of Dark Passage and Shoot the Piano Player), a space opera by E.E. “Doc” Smith, and science fiction from Arthur Leo Zagat and Stephen Marlowe! Here’s the complete lineup:

    Description:
    When Ethan randomly wins a lottery for a murder mystery game called "Memorial Academy," he reunites with his four old friends for what seems like innocent entertainment. But as the mystery unfolds, the scenario begins to mirror a real tragedy from thirteen years ago—the death of a girl named Jade White, whom everyone had dismissed as suicide.
    
    Trapped in a sealed room with rising chlorine gas, the friends are forced to confront buried secrets and unspoken guilt. Each revelation strips away layers of deception, exposing how Jade was systematically destroyed by jealousy, cruelty, and abuse—and how one person harbored the darkest revenge.
    
    This is not merely a game. It's a carefully orchestrated judgment, where justice doesn't follow the law—it follows the heart of a man who loved and lost everything.

    Kate Tudor’s marriage to billionaire Hank Tudor continues to fray when his ex–wife resurfaces in the wake of their daughter’s kidnapping, in the latest novel in this genre–defying crime series. 
    Eight years ago, Nan Tudor escaped her husband, billionaire businessman Hank Tudor, afraid for her life and leaving a dead body behind—but in doing so, she abandoned her three–year–old daughter, Lizzie. Still wracked with guilt for that decision, she is living a quiet life as a restaurant cook in France with her son when she receives a mysterious text: “We have your daughter.” 
    Lured back to the scene of the crime on Martha’s Vineyard by a threat against Lizzie’s life, Nan believes the kidnapper is exacting revenge against her, stopping at nothing to do so—and discovers that she and her daughter may not be the only targets. Kate Parker—Hank’s sixth and latest wife—is also on the island and drawn into the kidnapper’s elaborate web of retaliation. 
    Keeping their alliance secret from Hank, Hank’s fixer Thomas Cromwell, investigator Steve Gardiner, and reporter Tom Seymour, the two women find themselves in a race against time to rescue Lizzie—and to make sure they both stay alive.
