Sinopse

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #32.
 
This issue, we have more original stories than ever before. Editors Michael Bracken and Cynthia Ward have brought in new tales by Wil A. Emerson and the writing team of Jayme Lynn Blaschke and Don Webb, and I snagged magazine rights to Mel Gilden’s new novel, The Case by Case Casebook of Emily Silverwood. Mel’s story is a new and thoroughly modern take on the Mary Poppins theme. Wil Emerson has a study on the dynamics of detective partners. And Blachke and Webb’s story (as Cindy Ward put it) “reveals the connections between Nietszche’s abyss, Lovecraft’s god-monsters and non-Euclidean spaces, and Cordwainer Smith’s monsters of subspace.” Wow!
 
Not to be outdone, Barb Goffman acquired Stacy Woodson’s first story, which won the Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine Reader’s Award. And, of course, we have a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles, a historical adventure novel from Edison Marshall, and a slew of great science fiction stories from such masters as Henry Slesar, and Edmond Hamilson. And a World War II fantasy from Malcolm Edwards.

It was originally published in The Strand Magazine in 1904 with illustrations by Sidney Paget.
    Mr. Cyril Overton of Trinity College, Cambridge, comes to Holmes seeking his help in Godfrey Staunton's disappearance. Staunton is the key man on Overton's rugby union team (who plays at the three-quarters position, hence the story's title) and they will not win the important match tomorrow against Oxford if Staunton cannot be found. Holmes has to admit that sport is outside his field, but he shows the same care he has shown to his other cases.

    When bakery owner Clara Bennett organizes her small town's annual Pumpkin Festival, she expects pumpkin spice and everything nice—not a deadly dose of poison in the prize-winning pie.

Teaming up with her book club friends and a skeptical but charming local detective, Clara must sift through a patchwork of lies, rivalries, and long-buried secrets. From sabotaged recipes to hidden motives, every clue leads deeper into the community's dark underbelly.

    In the murky aftermath of the Vietnam War, secrets run as deep as corpses. 
    It's 1968, and outside Los Angeles, Jack Bardlow stands on the precipice between duty and darkness. In Episode 21 of the Solitaire Series, *Ten of Spades*, Jack's mission is clear: retrieve a seemingly innocuous card that holds a map to untold riches—or bring demise to those who stand in its way. 
    As Jack confronts the troubled Gary Dahl, the evening descends into chaos. Gary’s desperation entwines with deceit, shoveling secrets into shallow graves. But as guns blaze and cards fall, Jack learns trust is as rare as a straight flush. 
    Stalked by shadows both foreign and familiar, Jack’s quest for the elusive Ten of Spades spirals into a taut cat-and-mouse game of survival. Each move is a gamble with deadly stakes, each choice a step closer to a confrontation with far-reaching consequences. 
    The Solitaire Series’ latest installment invites listeners into a world where luck is calculated, promises are broken, and the past never stays buried. Dive into an era where danger whispers from every corner, and survival is dealt hand by precarious hand. Can Jack escape with not just the card but his life? The gamble is on, and the clock is ticking.
