Sinopsis

We have another great issue this week, with original mysteries from N.M. Cedeño (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Brian Rieselman, plus a terrific tale by David Dean (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Our classic mystery novel is The Winning Clue, by James Hay, Jr. (A note to the sensitive: it has some dialog in racial dialect, which was common in novels of the era.) And, of course, we have a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction and fantasy side, we start with an original tale by Jack Ritchie, best known for his crime stories. It was unpublished at the time of his death, and his estate has allowed us to publish it. We also have classics from Henry Slesar, Harlan Ellison, and a fantasy by E. Hoffmann Price. Our SF novel is by Jack Williamson.

    When an unscrupulous real estate agent tries to strong-arm a wealthy friend of Grammy Lee's into selling her stately home, Cooper and her Bible study friends are called in to investigate—before any crime has been committed. Grammy's fear is that the man is so devious he'll try to bump off her friend in order to get his hands on the estate.

    The Bible study group knows that even the wicked deserve justice, so they continue to investigate, this time to catch a killer.

    Meet maverick British detective DI Skelgill... "mad, bad and just a little bit cozy." 
     
    WHEN A HIGH-FLYING ADMAN is stabbed to death on a company weekend in the English Lake District, local detective Daniel Skelgill finds himself wrenched from his rural Cumbrian comfort zone. 
     
    As the investigation unfolds, DI Skelgill is led a merry dance between London and Edinburgh, at every turn confronted by uncooperative suspects – colleagues, wife and lovers of the deceased – each of whom is possessed of motive and opportunity. 
     
    Is this a crime of passion, a professional hit, or a cleverly calculated killing borne out of greed and jealousy? 
     
    In this traditional-style whodunit, the case can only be solved by carefully piecing together the essential clues – but Skelgill is running out of time. The patience of his superiors wears thin, while the actions of an anonymous agent provocateur serve only to advance the moment when the killer must strike again.
