Publisher Synopsis:
In these times, when even a trip to the supermarket is
fraught with peril, we can pursue new experiences through the widely traveled
characters of our November/December issue. Their travails transport us to
far-flung places—and drop us into situations that we would perhaps rather
experience on the page. Take Magistrate Ovid’s path between the underworld of
ancient Alexandria and the temple of the crocodile god in Tom Carpenter’s “The
Lure of the Crocodile.” Or Michael Bracken’s housewife, whose detour takes her
to a life-altering concert in “Woodstock.” When a prodigal son returns, he
brings with him an alluring whiff of crime in Eric Rutter’s “Raven Stole the
Sun,” while a spy returns to the home office to face his past in Mark Sadler’s
“At the Coal Face.” Two siblings from Mexico try to make their way in the
States in Doug Levin’s “Tamales for Sale.” A Midwestern transplant to New York
has a metropolitan odyssey in Meredith Anthony’s “I’m Right Here.” O’Neil De
Noux takes his adroit 1940’s P.I. on an excursion in New Orleans in “Dreamboat
Gambol.” And low-level mobsters take to small-town New Hampshire seeking to
hide out in “A Report on the Ladies’ Playground Committee of Prescott, NH” by
Brendan DuBois.
An artist’s obsession with a particular color keeps
her rooted in “The Color of Murder” by Mary Angela Honerman. A senior gets
caught in financial shenanigans in John C. Boland’s “Time-Sharing.” Upstate NY
P.I. Maggie Dove doesn’t take someone seriously in “Crown Imperial” by Susan
Breen. A local newspaper struggles to stay relevant—and afloat, in Barb
Goffman’s “Eat, Drink, and Be Murdered.” Las Vegas stylist Stacy Deshay is once
again on hand when murder strikes in Shauna Washington’s “A Pageant to Die For.”
A bit of art inspires a loan officer to think in Robert Mangeot’s “On Loan from
the Artist.” And R. T. Lawton introduces us to a new series in “A Matter of
Values.”
Wherever you are at this point in time, let us whisk you away with great crime fiction.
