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 Calculus Of Karma" by M.C. Tuggle, Deputy Malcolm Lamb takes on his first solo case after the discovery of a dead miner on the asteroid Psyche. Lamb must determine who killed the miner and stop a deadly turf war between corporation and wildcatter miners.

In "Nothing Doing" by Carl Robinette, Daisy Belle isn't a detective and there is no mystery here, at first it seems, but that doesn't stop her from being on the case. An unlikely partnership will help her get to the bottom of things, even if from the bottom of a bottle.
"Ancient Cypress" by Allan Durand, takes us to a Louisiana swamp where some twenty-dollar gold pieces are found when ancient sunken cypress logs are being recovered, and a deputy sheriff threatens to plant heroin on the crawfisherman who found them unless he gives them to the deputy.
