Sinossi

   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.

    Soon to be a Prime original limited series! 
     
    In the classic mystery by Queen of Mystery Agatha Christie, an elderly priest is murdered, quite possibly doomed by a woman’s deathbed confession and by the secrets kept safely locked behind closed doors of a mysterious local pub.  
    When an elderly priest is murdered, the killer searches the victim so roughly that his already ragged cassock is torn in the process. What was the killer looking for? And what had a dying woman confided to the priest on her deathbed only hours earlier? 
    Mark Easterbrook and his sidekick Ginger Corrigan are determined to find out. Maybe the three women who run The Pale Horse public house, and who are rumored to practice the “Dark Arts,” can provide some answers?
