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.

    Description:
    When she catches her fiancé Tristan cheating with her best friend Charlie—while three months pregnant—she doesn't cry or scream. Instead, she walks away calmly, hiding a decades-long grudge that's about to ignite. What seems like acceptance is actually the start of a twisted revenge plan targeting the "perfect" people who've haunted her life.
    As she lures the charming James into her orbit and uncovers shocking family ties, every step pulls Tristan, Charlie, and even her own mother into a web of lies, betrayal, and irreversible consequences. This dark, suspenseful tale peels back the layers of envy, parental pressure, and the cost of letting resentment fester.
    It's a gripping reminder: when we let others define our worth, everyone loses. Dive into a story where revenge burns bright, but redemption is nowhere in sight.
