Sinossi

Our 96th issue introduces some new contributors to the magazine—Smita Harish Jain (with an original mystery, thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Naomi Hirahara (with a riveting reprint mystery, courtesy of Acquiring Editor Barb Goffman). Also on the mystery front, we have a pair of British classics: a Sexton Blake detective story by Hal Meredith and a novel by William Le Queux.
 
When it comes to fantasy and science fiction, we’ve achieved an appealing balance. Adrian Cole and Henry S. Whitehead deliver two distinctly different nautically-themed stories. Also featured is Robert E. Howard’s eerie tale, “The Dream Snake.” (The Whitehead and Howard pieces originated from Weird Tales, and Cole’s work could easily have found a home within its pages.) Complementing the mix are science fiction stories by Arthur Leo Zagat and Russ Winterbotham, both prolific during the Golden Age.
 
Here’s the complete lineup:
 
Mysteries / Suspense / Adventure:
 
“An Honorable Choice,” by Smita Harish Jain [Michael Bracken Presents short story]“The Case of the Taken Trophy,” by Hal Charles [Solve-It-Yourself Mystery]“Off the 405,” by Naomi Hirahara [Barb Goffman Presents short story]“The Empty Tin,” by Hal Meredith [short story, Sexton Blake series]The Gamblers, by William Le Queux [novel]

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Our world needs help. Our world needs hope. This amazing series of three books offer that hope. Read them, you won't regret it. 
    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Very interesting book especially for the times we live in. The story line would have been easier to follow if I had read book 2, but it does explain enough to catch up. Life lessons taught - trust must be stronger than fear; love more important than hate; gratitude more than greed. With these there is HOPE. 
    If the Ring's mission is to succeed, Eva must travel back to Earth and try to stop Frank before he can reveal In-Between to the public. 
    Unfortunately, Frank has allied himself with a group of powerful people who want to gain power worldwide by spreading political and economic fear. 
    The task seems impossible, and as Eva is running out of opportunities, she sees no other way than to seek out a former friend. But for her to get help, she must break her promise to the Master. 
    Eva needs to work on her personal development to be a part of the Ring. 
    Only when all the members of the Ring have passed a test can they return to Earth with the knowledge and awareness that is crucial to the future of mankind. 
    Gabriel's condition worsens, and the Ring cannot be assembled without him. 
    Time is running out, and the question is, will Eva be ready on time? 
    Will she be able to let go of control and surrender to her vulnerability and her heart? 
    Eva's intense journey inspires us to be true to ourselves and open up and listen to our hearts.

    Twentysomething Pru seems like a girl on the straight and narrow. She takes in stray and abused animals and is studying to be a veterinarian. But college is so expensive these days, so she has to work her way using her talents as a conwoman. Fleecing dirty old men, using the dark web, and a variation on that old swindle, the Honey Trap. 
    Luring the potential pedophiles online with her youthful look, she meets and drugs them, taking their valuables and selling them on the Los Angeles black market. It's a living; buys kibble, and pays tuition. Besides, she figures this is what the bastards get for trying to have sex with underage girls. Right? Right. 
    But then one of the suckers turns out to be a fellow predator, of the most heinous kind. 
    During the ill-fated encounter, a serial killer turns the tables on Pru and nearly adds her to his collection of young female victims, tortured and then killed. She is barely able to escape. But this deadly experience is not over. The killer, now that he has met her, is a fan. Somehow he sees Pru as a fellow traveler and wants her to witness his next murderous plan, step by step. 
    Pru tries to evade the twisted courtship, but when she refuses, the killer takes the game to her doorstep—with deadly results. Pru now has to take down this cold-blooded enemy on her own. Using every trick she has learned on the mean streets she goes after him. At the same time she is forced to dredge up a host of dark, long-buried secrets of her own.

    Meet Jim Greene. 
    An ordinary detective constable trying 'not' to solve a murder. 
     
    The remote and isolated Cornish island of Gallymay was meant to be the perfect place for a break. But things don’t quite go to plan when Jim stumbles across a body on his first day. 
     
    Which is the last thing he needs. But it’s fine. He’ll call Devon and Cornwall Police. They’ll sort it out. 
     
    Except the storm, and the island, have other ideas. Cut off from the mainland during a mid-winter storm, Jim finds himself reluctantly thrust into a murder investigation, assisted by a ragtag group of well-meaning locals, in a chaotic, heartfelt, and often laugh-out-loud “almost” cosy mystery. 
     
    Told through police notebooks, witness statements, interview transcripts and body-worn video logs, Murder Crime on Gallymay blends pitch-perfect policing, with laugh-out-loud moments, heartwarming friendships, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the final page.
