Description
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 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:
In our cover feature, "The Don Juan Of Eldorado" by Alec Cizak, a drifter detective finds himself embroiled in a turf war between appliance salesmen.
"Letter Man" by Martin Zeigler: While kids at the drug store's comic book spinner thumb through the latest issue of Sergeant Light Beam, a comic book editor and his letterer fight it out to the finish.
In the humorous caper, "Paying Your Dues" by Steve Shrott, the code at an exclusive club full of Mikes is violated leading to murder.
In the puzzling mystery, "The Left-Handed Pistol" by Martin Hill Ortiz, Philip Prince, a former med tech, is blackmailed by the local sheriff into finding how a meth addict met his death. Nothing is what it seems: Phillip, the sheriff, the D.A., and officials from a drug research company all have something to hide.
In the cautionary tale, "Creatures Of Our Desire" by Bruce McAllister, an attorney for more than one US president looks back at a life-and-death incident from childhood that showed him more about himself than he wished to see.
"The Rusted Beetle" by James Nolan: On the lam from a collapsed Ponzi scheme in San Francisco, a shady real estate developer flees to a remote medieval village in Provence. As the Mistral winds howl, there he runs across one the many tenants he evicted, an old North Beach hippie hell-bound for revenge.
