Sinopse

   This issue, we have an original mystery by dbschlosser (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken), a recent tale by Bruce Robert Coffin (courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman), and a slightly older tale by James Holding. Our mystery novel is As a Thief in the Night, by R. Austin Freeman—part of his Dr. Thorndyke series. And, of course, a solve-it-yourself puzzler from Hal Charles.
 
   On the science fiction side, we have an original story by Larry Tritten, plus classics by Walt Sheldon, Winston K. Marks, and Richard Banks. Our science fiction novel is The Sane Men of Satan, by Sam Merwin—renamed, I suspect, by a very pulp-fiction oriented editor. (I can’t see any rational science fiction author giving his time-travel book that title!)
 
   You may notice a similarity between the titles of James Holding’s and Winston K. Marks’s stories. I assure you, the similarities end at the title. I thought it would be fun to pair them in the same issue, though.
 
   Here’s the complete lineup—
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“Destroyer of Worlds,” by dbschlosser [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Unlocked Room Mystery,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Fool Proof,” by Bruce Robert Coffin [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“Go to Sleep, Darling,” by James Holding [short story]As a Thief in the Night, by R. Austin Freeman [novel, Dr. Thorndyke series]
 
Science Fiction & Fantasy:
 
“Down the Rabbit Hole,” by Larry Tritten [short story]“The Shrine,” by Walt Sheldon [short story]“Go to Sleep, My Darling,” by Winston K. Marks [short story]“The Last Class,” by Richard Banks [short story]The Sane Men of Satan, by Sam Merwin [short novel]

    When vibrant American widow Jane Wunderly arrives in 1920s Turkey in search of her father, she finds a country redefining itself after the fall of the Ottoman Empire—and a deadly criminal who can't escape the past . . . 
     
     
     
    Istanbul, 1926: After her archeologist father makes a clandestine journey abroad, Jane and the dapper Mr. Redvers trace his footsteps while signs of danger loom back home in the United States. They're greeted at their destination by Aunt Millie and unsettling news: Professor Wunderly was on a mission to locate the lost heart of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent—a legendary relic from the Ottoman Empire said to possess potent mystical powers—then vanished completely, leaving behind his unpacked luggage, a perplexing riddle, and an eerie mystery Jane must solve to keep her loved ones safe. 
     
     
      
    What starts off as a clear-cut investigation becomes an intercontinental game of cat and mouse as Jane realizes a gang of nameless figures have been stalking her every move from Turkey to Hungary. And it seems even helpful friends can't be trusted for long when a man is stabbed to death on the Orient Express to Budapest. With Redvers by her side and few clues to rely on, Jane's desperate search for her father leads to centuries-old secrets and an unidentified enemy who could make her disappear like the missing Sultan's heart . . .

    On a frigid winter's night, Lady Darriby-Jones is roused from her daydreaming by an unexpected late-night visitor, a familiar yet vexing presence known for annual visits to the Darriby estate. She invites him in, leaving his care to her butler. Little does she know that this decision will lead to a grim discovery. 
     
     
     
    In the early light of day, a shrill cry pierces the serenity, unveiling a most unwelcome gift of the season: the uninvited guest lies lifeless. 
     
     
     
    Lady Darriby-Jones is left to contemplate a series of confounding questions. Why did she grant this man an overnight refuge?  What sinister connection lies behind a bottle of her gin beside the deceased? How could someone have taken his life when he was confined within a room? 
     
     
     
    It becomes evident that this enigma is one that Lady Darriby-Jones may not unravel. However, with an inept, ill-tempered law enforcement officer assigned to the case and a young family member implicated as the prime suspect, she must sift through the scant breadcrumbs of clues to disentangle this puzzle. 
     
     
     
    Will she succeed in unmasking a shrewd killer, or will this chilling incident forever taint the most cherished season of the year with haunting memories?
