Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine - January/February 2025

En este asunto

Holiday lights and dark endless nights. Winter is a season of contrasts. December festivities and soft new snow give way to dreary days that dissolve into gloom and slippery gray ice. After the parties and presents come introspection and dreams of an escape to the tropics. But if your fantasies come tinged with the macabre, stop right there and let us give you a vicarious dose with 14 tales of cold-hearted misdeeds.

In this winter issue we bring you four holiday-set stories. “Santa’s Eyes” by Joslyn Chase features a dubious department store you-know-who. An armed robbery threatens to derail Christmas dinner in “King of the Visigoths” by Marcelle Dubé. Crime doesn’t stop for the holiday on a gambling riverboat in “Rogue’s Christmas” by Christopher Latragna. The peace that follows the holidays is disrupted when a body is found the bell tower of a church in Jillian Grant Shoichet’s “The Toll.”

In rural Vermont, an elderly woman’s hit and run leads to revelations of more misdeeds in “Into the Weeds” by Alice Hatcher, while in neighboring New Hampshire, a White Mountain lodge hosts more than its paying guests in G.M. Malliet’s “Cold Cases.” What caused an experienced ice-fisherman in Greenland to drown is a question for the police in “Strange Fish” by Christoffer Petersen.
