Summary

This issue, we have original mysteries from Janice Law (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and our BCW’s very own Ron Miller (who moonlights as our Art Director), plus a modern masterpiece by Gina Nelson (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Add a rare Golden Age mystery novel by James Hay, Jr. and we have quite a winning mix.
 
But wait, there’s more! No issue is complete without a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction side, we have a great story by British master Philip E. High, as well as tales by Harlan Ellison, Henry Slesar, and Stephen Marlowe. Our novel is an early classic by Jack Williamson.

    After first introducing Sherlock Holmes in "A Study in Scarlet", Sir Arthur Conan Doyle then began his series of shorter Holmes' adventures as chronicled by the famous detective's friend and companion Dr John Watson. Here we have many classics of the Holmes series. The gothic horror of "The Speckled Band", the bizzare and clever deception of "The Red Headed League", the unique and frightening experience of the "Engineer'sThumb" and the lofty client from "A Scandal in Bohemia", a case which finds Holmes up against "The Woman". 
    Simon Hester gives a compelling narration and has composed theme music, especially for the production.

    MI6 Agent Katrin Nissen is Winston Churchill's last hope to convince his government to let him mine the coast of Norway to prevent Hitler from reaching the iron ore reserves that will fuel the Nazi war machine. The proof Churchill needs is to be found in a beef processing plant in the coastal town of Kolding, Denmark. The strategy is simple. As the army gears up for the invasion, food supplies will move with them, and Churchill will be able to chart their path to the coast as they prepare to invade Norway. 
     
     
     
    Katrin is dispatched to Kolding to track these supply shipments, but the mission turns deadly when she encounters an SS officer on a mission of his own. As Katrin flees, her escape route leads back to her home in Sankt Peder where the notorious double agent Ronin has allied himself with the Nazis. 
     
     
     
    As the townspeople organize to resist the imminent occupation, and with time running short, Katrin must enlist the help of her family and the fledgling Danish Resistance to complete her assignment.
