Beschreibung

   This time, we have another jam-packed issue, and it’s overstuffed with three novels (okay, one of them’s a short novel, but still…) by Ron Miller (featuring Velda, his series private eye), John G. Brendan (a well-respected British writer of Golden Age mysteries), and Lin Carter (wrapping up his epic Gondwane saga). Fear not! We didn’t forget the short stories. We also have great tales from Neil S. Plakcy (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), Larry Hodges, Adam Meyer, Josh Pachter (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), E.C. Tubb, and Nelson S. Bond. Good stuff.

That man is Cole McGinnis. Since his last life-threatening case years ago, McGinnis has married the love of his life, Jae-Min Kim, consulted for the LAPD, and investigated cases as a private detective for hire. Yet nothing could have prepared him for the shocking discovery of a dead, grandmotherly woman at his feet and the cascade of murders that follows, even if he should have been used to it by now. Now he's back in the dark world of murder and intrigue where every bullet appears to have his name on it and every answer he digs up seems to only create more questions. Hired by the dead woman's husband, McGinnis has to figure out who is behind the crime spree. As if the twisted case of a murdered grandmother isn't complicated enough, Death is knocking on his door, and each time it opens, Death is wearing a new face, leaving McGinnis to wonder who he can actually trust.
