Sinossi

In our 89th issue, Michael Bracken pulls double duty to bring a pair of original mysteires to readers: great tales by Steve Liskow and Welsh-Huggins. Plus we have a crime novel by Johnston McCulley (who also created Zorro—but he tried his hand at a bunch of other heroes and antiheroes, among them The Scarlet Scourge, The Avenging Twins, and a ton of others). There’s also a novel by Western author B.M. Bower. Plus a solve-it-yourself mystery by Hal Charles.
 
On the science fiction & fantasy side, we have classic tales by Randall Garrett and Murray Leinster, two favorites. Robert E. Howard (much on my mind since returning from our trip to Robert E. Howard Days in Cross Plains, Texas) has a Solomon Kane adventure. And last (but far from least) we begin the serialization of Darrell Schweitzer’s amazing Sekenre: The Book of the Sorcerer, a series of linked short stories that come together to form a novel…though each tale also manages to stand on its own. The first 3 stories are in this issue.  Here’s this issue’s complete lineup:

“Nose for News,” by Steve Liskow [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Burgled Bushels,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Supply Chains,” by Andrew Welsh-Huggins [Michael Bracken Presents short story]The Voice at Johnnywater, by B.M.

    Corfu, 1930 
    The moment Thirza Caruthers sets foot on Corfu, memories flood back: the scent of jasmine, the green shutters of her family’s home — and her brother Billy’s tragic disappearance years before. 
    Returning to the Greek house, high above clear blue waters, Thirza tries to escape by immersing herself in painting — and a passionate affair. 
    But as webs of love, envy, and betrayal tighten around the family, buried secrets surface. 
    Is it finally time to uncover the truth about Billy’s vanishing?

    ‘I was totally absorbed by this page-turning tale of love, loss and heartbreak in a troubled period of Corfu’s history. The island is beautifully evoked, the characters gloriously alive and passionate' Rachel Hore 
    'A powerful story … the women are strong and complex … this is Dinah Jefferies' best yet' Gill Paul 
    As the 20th century unfolds on Corfu, this historical mystery turns a return home into a reckoning, where fiction and romance meet the sharp edge of truth. From the Sunday Times bestselling author, the stories hidden behind green shutters lead Thirza to the answer she has feared for years.

    After a lengthy leave of absence, DCI Jane Phillips is back in Major Crimes, neck deep in the most macabre murder investigation of her career. 
     
     
     
    The naked body of a famous sportsman has been laid out in a churchyard, wrapped in a white shawl, surrounded by flowers. Stranger still, his heart is missing. 
     
     
     
    With such a high profile victim, the pressure to find the murderer is instant and extreme. And it only increases when the killer strikes again—leaving behind another mutilated body, posed in exactly the same way. 
     
     
     
    With no obvious connection between the two victims, Phillips turns to profiler Dr. Siobhan Harris. Can she help to identify the perpetrator or discover the motive behind these brutal murders? 
     
     
     
    But no one could have prepared Phillips for what the doctor is about to reveal. 
     
     
     
    Everything points to a killer on a mission, and a body count that's likely to double within days—unless Phillips can stop the murderous psychopath, hell bent on satisfying his own Deadly Craving.
