Where there is affection or loyalty, there is the potential for betrayal. And when a crime involves a victim, their pain will be compounded when betrayal is involved, whether it be of trust, of confidence, or of duty. But while crime may often mean letting someone down, as chronicled by many of the stories in this issue, you can always trust AHMM to provide exciting and satisfying reading.

Betrayal within a family may cut the deepest, as an attorney with a drinking problem exemplifies in Eve Fisher’s “The Closing of the Lodge.” Meanwhile, a trusted aunt’s good deed backfires in Janice Law’s “The Nephew,” while ending a family legacy is a fraught decision is Dayle A. Dermatis’s “Thicker Than Syrup But Not as Sweet.” And a foster child’s sudden source of money sets off alarm bells and a cascade of lamentable events in “The Deacon’s Mistake” by Susan Oleksiw.

Disguise is another form of betrayal that shows up this issue. Turn of the century New Orleans detective Jacques Dugas receives visits from two men both claiming to be the same Parisian investigator on the trail of a murderess in O’Neil De Noux’s “The Other French Detective.” The theater can be a space where predators may assume new roles, as Elliot Sweeney’s P.I. Dylan Kaspar discovers in “Bad Actor.” And a young employee at a skating rink in the seventies learns that a friendly and personable customer is not what he appears in Jeff Marks’s “Disco Is Dead.”

We trust that this issue's entertaining collection of tales will reassure you, the reader, of our commitment to serving your reading pleasure.
