Sinopsis

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly. We can’t believe it’s been 100 issues! Time flies when you’re having fun. To celebrate, we are offering this issue at a special price.
 
To help make this issue special, we asked Acquiring Editors Barb Goffman and Michael Bracken to contribute some special stories of their own. We think you’ll agree, they are among the highlights of this issue. On the mystery side , we also have stories by Nancy Pickard, Bradley Harper, and a novel from the legendary Fredric Brown—his classic Knock Three-One-Two. And what issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself mystery by Hal Charles?
 
On the more fantastic side of things, we have another of Darrell Schweitzer’s historical interviews with a legend of science fiction, this time Robert Sheckley. Conducted in 1981, it talks about his becoming fiction editor of Omni magazine, the science fiction community in New York City, and more.
 
As for fiction, we have that, too, of course. Fantasy from Joseph Payne Brennan and Aeryn Rudel. Science fiction from Larry Tritten, Frank Belknap Long, and a rare novel, The Green Girl, from Grandmaster Jack Williamson.

    Book #4 in Agatha Christie's Poirot series.
    
    Proclaimed by the Crime Writers' Association as 'the finest example of the genre ever penned', The Murder of Roger Ackroyd contains one of the most celebrated twists in crime fiction and is consistently voted among Agatha Christie's best novels.
    
    It is, famously, the Poirot novel that demands to be heard twice: the curious listener cannot resist re-examining what they thought they knew. Laura Thompson, Christie's biographer, described it as 'masterly: deceptive in every way', and it remains a rare treat for those who savour the challenge of a whodunnit, yet love to be taken in by a master of her craft.
    Agatha Christie (1890 – 1976) was an English author. She was a prolific writer, most famous for her detective novels and short story collections which centred around the iconic characters of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple. Renowned as the 'Queen of Crime', she remains the bestselling novelist of all time, with her sales only second to the Bible.

    When Raymond West visits the Cornish coast for a quiet holiday, he expects nothing more than sea air and a few days of writing. Instead, he finds himself caught in a mystery involving sunken treasure, suspicious locals, and a friend who may not be what he seems. 
    At the heart of the intrigue is the legend of the Juan Fernandez, a Spanish galleon said to have sunk off the coast, its gold still hidden beneath the waves. Raymond’s host, John Newman, is obsessed with the wreck, convinced that the treasure is real and within reach. But when Newman goes missing and a local diver becomes a suspect, the hunt for gold turns deadly. 
    Inspector Badgworth arrives to investigate, uncovering secrets buried deeper than any shipwreck. With a professional diver, a surly landlord, and a village full of whispers, it’s clear that someone will do anything to keep the past hidden. 
    As storms batter the cliffs and old grudges resurface, Raymond must navigate a web of lies, greed, and betrayal. Was the Spanish gold ever real, or is there a different fortune at stake? And who can be trusted when everyone seems to have something to hide? 
    For fans of classic whodunits and seaside mysteries, Ingots of Gold delivers sharp twists, a chilling atmosphere, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the last page. 
    Will you uncover the truth before it’s lost beneath the waves?
