Sinopse

   Our 80th issue has some great tales for you, starting with an original mystery by Hugh Lessit (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and a great reprint by Jim Thomsen (thanks to Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Plus we have a pair of detective novels, the first featuring New York-based private investigator Nick Carter, and the second another original Hardy Boys mystery. If you read the later editions, you will be shocked to find how much was changed from the originals. These are not the watered-down Hardy Boys most of us read as kids. Give it a read.
 
   On the science fiction and fantasy side, we have a Frostflower & Thorn tale by Phyllis Ann Karr, as she brings her famous duo to a world created by M. Coleman Easton...in collaboration with Easton. Great fun. Plus classic SF by Mike Curry, Robert Silverberg, Robert F. Young, and Murray Leinster.

    Description:
    She woke up in the body of a dead girl — and the family who killed her was still in the room.
    
    For years, she'd drifted through the village as a nameless ghost, watching everything, remembering everything. When Lucy Chen's abused body gave out at last, the ghost slid in and took over. What followed was swift, satisfying, and very loud.
    
    But there's a madwoman living in the ruined temple on the hill, clutching a rag doll and calling out a name that feels disturbingly familiar.
    
    And somewhere in the ghost's scattered memory, something is starting to surface.
    
    *Ghost Girl* is a darkly funny, surprisingly tender supernatural story about revenge, justice, and a mother's love so fierce it bent the rules of death itself.
    
    Some women refuse to let go of their daughters. Even death isn't convincing enough.

    Shadow Island is under siege. 
    Just a few short months ago, Sheriff Rebecca West thought her toughest battles were behind her. But nothing could have prepared her for the turmoil she’s faced since coming to Shadow Island. Attempts on her life. Heartbreak. Betrayal. And that’s just the beginning. 
    The worst is yet to come. 
    Still reeling from the shocking discovery of who’s behind Shadow Island’s exclusive and depraved "men’s" club, Rebecca is determined to take them down. There’s only one problem. One by one, the members end up dead. Tongues cut out, hands chopped off—the message is clear... 
    Dead witnesses can’t talk. Now everyone is a potential victim. 
    Is there a traitor in the club’s midst? An accomplice turned executioner? Or is the Yacht Club killing its own members rather than risking the police questioning them? 
    As the desperation of the masterminds behind the Yacht Club increases, so does the body count. In her relentless pursuit of the truth, Rebecca risks unraveling not just the secrets of the Yacht Club, but the very fabric of her own heart. 
    Shadow’s Siege, the tensely climactic fifteenth installment of the Shadow Island Series by Mary Stone and Lori Rhodes, is a chilling reminder that just when you think things can’t get worse, they do.

    Esther was born in the shadows of Rio de Janeiro's underbelly a place where innocence dies young and survival is the only virtue. Trapped in a life of prostitution to feed her sick parents and herself, she learned early how to wear a smile that hid hunger, and how to lie without blinking. Then came the American quiet, rich, powerful. A man with secrets of his own and a strange kindness she didn't expect. He took her away, out of the streets and into a mansion half a world away. She became his wife. A fairy tale? Maybe. But Esther never forgot where she came from or how fast everything could be taken away. Wealth changed her, but not enough. It wasn't love that kept her in that house it was the money. And one day, she decided she wanted it all. With cold precision, she executed a plan: one bullet, no witnesses, no mistakes. But the man she killed had a mother a quiet woman with steel in her spine and grief sharper than a blade. For three years, she moved in silence, gathering evidence, watching, waiting. No badge. No backup. Just vengeance. When the truth cracked open, it wasn't the police who found Esther it was the mother. And in the end, justice came not with a gun, but with a sentence: life behind bars. No mansion. No freedom. Just the weight of her choices. A Quiet Man with a Gun is a gritty, slow-burning noir thriller about lust, betrayal, and the long reach of justice. It's a story of a woman who thought she could outsmart fate and a mother who proved otherwise.
