Amazon Synopsis:
At the cutting
edge of crime fiction, Mystery Weekly 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

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.

when things go sideways, as they tend to do.
An aging hitman agrees to one last job arranged by his young
