About
Our new issue features a pair of returning favorite characters (at least, they're among my favorites!)-Ron Miller's P.I., Velda Bellinghausen, and Christopher B. Booth's slick Depression-era conman, Amos Clackworthy. As if that's not enough, we also have original stories from Dave Zeltserman (thanks to Acquiring Editor Michael Bracken) and Laurence Raphael Brothers, plus a new Solve-It-Yourself puzzler from Hal Charles. And there are recent and classic tales from Adrian Cole, Raymond F. Jones, Alfred Coppel, and Thomas J. O'Hara. Our novel stretches the definition of a legal drama a wee bit, but it's a great read: Justice Is a Woman, by Helen Haberman. It might not be for everyone, but if you enjoy World War II-era fiction, it's definitely of interest.
Here's the complete lineup-
