| Publisher 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 our cover feature, "A Hazard Of The Job" by Coy Hall, a woman committed to an asylum in 1920s Virginia, forges a friendship with an old man dying of tuberculosis-a man who had been a killer in his youth, a man who may be sympathetic for her want of revenge. Jeffrey Hunt's prankster "Sir Oxnard" is an English nobleman banished for twelve years who may or may not be back for revenge. In "Screen Shot" by Teel James Glenn, the suicide of a TV star was recorded, so why does Jon Shadows think things are not as they seem? "Setting The Pick" by April Kelly: when a woman feels her actions allowed her sister's killer to beat the rap, how far will a private detective go to solve the decades-old murder? "Tombstone Dodge" by Vincent H. O'Neil: when your wife is connected to all the wrong elements in town and you spend most of your time tricking people into trusting you, stealing a stash of organized crime money sounds perfectly reasonable. In "Star Witness" by Joe Giordano, a mad bomber is loose in Brooklyn. Detective Bragg and his partner are stumped until they look to the stars. "Wipeout" by Adam Meyer: in the aftermath of a hurricane, a young man vows to do anything he can to get back what he lost in the flood waters-but as he discovers, payback can be tricky. "The Corpse At The Foot Of My Bed" by Gordon Linzner: He woke that morning to find a dead man staring at him through the glass doors of his patio; between the police and a couple of nosy neighbors, things went downhill from there.
