Publisher Synopsis:
Close out the year with EQMM’s charmingly chilling
holiday issue. In our pages you’ll follow clues through the snow in “Killer
Instinct” by Doug Allyn, solve a compelling Christmas Eve puzzle by firelight
in Catriona McPherson’s “Mrs. Tilling’s Match,” travel through time to the
holidays at a coal mine in Almuth Heuner’s Glauser Award-winning “Black
Legacy,” and enjoy a Yuletide visit with Ellery Queen and the Puzzle Club in
“The Adventure of the Black-and-Blue Carbuncle” by Josh Pachter.
The holidays are known as a family time, and
characters navigate those ties in “My People” by Liza Cody, featuring an
undercover police officer, “Good Decisions” by Edwin Hill, in which two couples
navigate their desires, “The Cards You’re Dealt” by Michael Z. Lewin, featuring
Sergeant LeRoy Powder, and “The Man at the Window,” a Slater and Lomond case by
Pat Black. Much like unwrapping a gift, characters sometimes give more than
you’d expect, such as those in “The Man From Scotland Yard Dances Salsa” by
John Lantigua, a Willie Cuesta mystery, “Crumble” by Christine Poulson, set in
a small English town, and “The Other Imelda” by R.T. Raichev, featuring always
reluctant sleuth Antonia Darcy and her husband Major Payne.
Two entires from our Black Mask department shine like
coal in a stocking: “Duel of the Aces” by Travis Kennedy and “Boomerang Dice,”
a classic reprint by Stewart Stirling. Meanwhile, power dynamics shift uneasily
in “The Winner” by LaToya Jovena, “Maps” by Kim Harbridge, and “The Tuesday
Curse” by Bill Pronzini and Barry N. Malzberg.
As you read “The Line” by Cath Staincliffe, “Words
Don’t Kill” by Jehane Sharah, and “A Voice From the Dark” by Maurissa Guibord,
you might find yourself reflecting on your year’s deeds (or misdeeds). Finally,
we invite you to consider the stories published in EQMM this year and fill out
our Readers Award ballot!
