Synopsis

Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #58.
 
This issue kicks off our Halloween celebrations with a holiday-inspired tale. An incomplete draft of “Had a Wife...” was found in Janet Fox’s papers following her death, and I completed it. I hope you enjoy it. Keeping up the fantasy theme, we have a powerful tale by Craig Laurance Gidney inspired by the music of Joni Mitchell (selected by our acquiring editor Cynthia Ward). Our other acquiring editors have been busy, too—Michael Bracken presents an original mystery by the talented Kaye George (in which an ancient cave painting holds a clue to a murder), and Barb Goffman presents a tale by Sherry Harris, in which Stew Davis finds himself walking a dusty road in Who Knows Where, Wyoming after his car is stolen..
 
On the mystery front, we have our ever-puzzle solve-it-yourself story from Hal Charles, plus a pair of historical novels—one by Frank C. Robertson (it’s a mystery-western) and one by John T. McIntyre (set near the turn of the 20th century in New York City)..
 
For our fantasy and science fiction readers, we have the first Darby O’Gill story (most famously filmed by Walt Disney), plus a pair of vintage pulp novellas by Fletcher Pratt and Murray Leinster. Fun stuff!.
 
Here’s the complete lineup:.
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:“Discovery,” by Kaye George [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“Nothing to Sneeze At,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Last Chance Lost,” by Sherry Harris [Barb Goffman Presents short story]The Boss of the Double E, by Frank C.

    The next clever, witty, and touching installment in the Edgar award-winning Stewart Hoag mystery series finds the beloved ghostwriter-sleuth and his faithful neurotic basset hound, Lulu, back in 1990’s New York City, investigating a bestselling author’s stolen manuscript and three murders linked to the crime. 
    Washed-up celebrity ghostwriter Stewart “Hoagy” Hoag has finally rediscovered his voice and is making progress on what he hopes will be his long-awaited second novel. Burrowed up in his less-than-luxurious, sweltering fifth floor walk-up, he tries not to think of the disparities between himself and his ex-wife, celebrity actress Merilee Nash, who is sifting through film offers—and also her fickle feelings for Hoagy—from her elegant eight-room apartment looking over Central Park. When Merilee offers her home for Hoagy’s use while she’s shooting on location, hope blossoms that he might finally get some real work done… and solidify their rekindling romance. 
    Then Hoagy receives a call from his literary agent asking if he can meet with publishing’s most ruthless and reviled editor, Sylvia James, for a drink at the Algonquin Hotel. After disclosing that aging literary genius Addison James—also Sylvia’s father and main client—has not in fact written his last two bestselling historical sagas, Sylvia reveals her suspicions that Addison’s assistant Tommy O’Brien—the true author—has run away with their most recent manuscript and is holding it for ransom. Tempted by Sylvia’s offer to bid a hefty advance for his novel-in-progress, Hoagy agrees to help unearth Tommy’s sudden disappearance. If only he’d known exactly what he was getting himself into, he might’ve saved himself from the ensuing grief that follows in his hot pursuit of Tommy. But then, that wouldn’t be a normal day in the life of Hoagy. 
    With clattering claims of a mugging, a stolen manuscript, and three murders, now it’s up to Hoagy and his short-legged sidekick Lulu to unravel this baffling, bizarre case.

    On the misty moors of Cornwall, a chilling discovery forces private investigator Blake Hollow to confront the darkest corners of her past. 
    Eighteen years ago, Blake’s best friend vanished without warning. Now, back in her hometown, she faces a harrowing new case: Lucy Truscott, the daughter of another childhood friend, has gone missing. When Blake discovers Lucy’s body, brutally mutilated with ritualistic wounds, memories of her friend’s disappearance flood back—along with the horrifying awareness that the two cases are connected. 
    As the local police hit dead ends, Blake uncovers a pattern they’ve missed: a series of unsolved disappearances spanning decades, all with the same haunting signature. With time running out, Blake must unmask a killer who’s been perfecting their craft for years—or risk another young woman becoming the next victim in this twisted circle of bones. 
    ‘Creepy and gripping… Richards returns with another nail-biter.’ The Bookseller 
    Perfect for fans of The Silence of the Lambs, Broadchurch and Sharp Objects, ‘Circle of Bones’ introduces a gripping new British crime thriller series, where a detective’s personal demons are as dangerous as the killers she hunts.
