Beschreibung

   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.

    With Emily Westhill’s popular Deputy Donut Café rolling out seasonal summer treats, everyone in Fallingbrook, Wisconsin wants a taste. But when a limited batch box turns up near a dead body, Emily and her curious tabby are pitted against the worst kind of customer—a cold–blooded murderer! 
    Emily feels like a protective big sister around bubbly twenty-something Izzy—a new regular whose enthusiasm for peaches and cream donuts is surpassed only by her dream to start her own business. As if blown in by an August breeze, Izzy pulls Emily into her plan to buy a property at the edge of town to grow and sell fresh produce. But she’s not the only fan of Deputy Donut’s peachy delights . . . or the only patron vying to own the lush parcel of land. And the competition is fiercer than the two women imagined . . .

Worse, Emily’s signature donuts are spotted nearby, leading to several potential suspects who could have left their sugar–frosted fingerprints all over the crime scene—including the mayor, a handsome out-of-towner, and even sweet–to–the–core Izzy. When her detective husband discovers poisonous ingredients in the discarded desserts, a shocked Emily must reveal holes in a collection of very fuzzy facts and nab the killer before someone else takes their last bite . . .

    Step into the shadowed streets of Victorian London with The Cabman’s Story, a gripping crime fiction short story by Arthur Conan Doyle. Told through the keen, world-weary voice of a London cabman, this atmospheric tale reveals how ordinary professions often brush against extraordinary—and dangerous—secrets. Through two unforgettable encounters, the cabman recounts transporting a mysterious corpse placed in his cab under suspicious circumstances, and later becoming an unwitting accomplice to a clever banknote forger who hides criminal activity behind routine fares. 
    Rich in period detail and moral ambiguity, The Cabman’s Story explores crime, deception, and human nature as seen from the driver’s seat of London’s underbelly. Doyle masterfully captures the tension between respectability and corruption in late 19th-century society, offering readers a compact yet haunting glimpse into the hidden lives that move through the city after dark. Ideal for fans of classic crime fiction, Victorian mysteries, and character-driven storytelling, this short story lingers long after the final page.
