Riassunto

At the cutting edge of crime fiction, Mystery Magazine presents original short stories by the world’s best-known and emerging mystery writers. The stories we feature in our monthly issues span every imaginable subgenre, including cozy, police procedural, noir, whodunit, supernatural, hardboiled, humor, and historical mysteries. Evocative writing and a compelling story are the only certainty.

Get ready to be surprised, challenged, and entertained--whether you enjoy the style of the Golden Age of mystery (e.g., Agatha Christie, Arthur Conan Doyle), the glorious pulp digests of the early twentieth century (e.g., Dashiell Hammett, Raymond Chandler), or contemporary masters of mystery.

★ In this issue★

“Last Island” by M. H. Callway: A mysterious death in an ice fishing hut leads Danny Bluestone, a young Northern Ranger, on a high-stakes race across the frozen lands.

“Absolutely” by Jim Courter: PI Barry Pool passes on a job from a would-be client he finds smug and arrogant. When the guy dies in a hit-and-run, Pool is curious, and learns that his opinion was widely shared.

“His Last Duchess” by Merrilee Robson: This is not a gothic novel. The house is sunny and beautiful. The newlyweds are in love. Everything is perfect.

“Barnie Brewster's Body Begone Bureau” by Ricky Sprague: When the fellow members of the Strawberries Club ask Barnie Brewster for help covering their crimes, a new potentially profitable sideline is born.

“On Ice” by Allison Baxter: During an annual ice fishing trip, an elderly ice fisher finds out who her friends are … and aren't.

“Tricoteuse At The Knitting Boutique” by Jon M. Gluckman: This is a story inspired by the subversive power of women. It ends violently (so that is a trigger warning) but speaks of the injustices women have been suffering in a world, a history, largely created and controlled by men.

“The Affair Of The Bewildering Bell” by Martin Hill Ortiz: Ace detective and next-door neighbor to Sherlock Holmes, Jules Pfennig, is recruited to investigate his most baffling case yet—the mystery behind a miraculous church bell.
The adventure continues next month …
