Sinossi

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #38.
 
This issue, we have some real gems—starting with our featured story, Hope Mirrlees’s Lud-in-the-Mist. It’s a true classic of fantasy, acclaimed by critics for generations. Plus we have a Hashknife Hartley historical adventure novel (okay, you can call it a Western!) from W.C. Tuttle. Our acquiring editors have been busy, too. Michael Bracken snagged an original private eye tale from Laird Long, Barb Goffman found a terrific John M. Floyd story, and Cynthia Ward picked up a great science fiction story by Nisi Shawl and Michael Ehart.
 
And I’ve been busy picking out stories, too—just so you don’t think I’m resting on the magazine’s laurels. This issue has a classic-style detective yarn from new author Saul Golubcow (the first of of three stories we’ll be running in this series), plus classic science fiction from Lester del Rey, John W. Campbell Jr., and Otis Adelbert Kline.

    THE ONLY WAY OUT IS TO SOLVE THE CASE. 
    Everyone knows the first forty-eight hours are the most important after a homicide. But for Detective Luke Guillory, the first forty-eight hours are all he gets—over and over and over. The same victim, the same crime scene, the same long list of suspects. Each reset erases his progress and resets the clock—but only for him. 
    With his marriage unraveling, his career stalled, and his own reputation damaged by his mother's criminal conviction, Luke is running out of people he can trust. 
    As Luke relives the same two days over and over, he starts to uncover new clues and dangerous truths. But every mistake he makes means starting from scratch. To solve the murder and break the cycle, Luke must think faster, trust harder, and risk everything—even if it means making impossible choices. 
    Smart, tightly plotted, and packed with sharp dialogue and high stakes, A Time for Murder is the pulse-pounding first book in the Time Loop Detective series. Perfect for fans of Blake Crouch, Tana French, and the movie Edge of Tomorrow, this genre-bending mystery blends suspense, science fiction, and procedural drama into a uniquely addictive read. 
    Time is Luke's enemy. Truth is his only weapon. And if he wants his life back, he has to get it right. 
    Start A Time for Murder today and discover a twist-filled thriller where every second counts—and the clock is already ticking.
