Alfred Hitchcock Mystery Magazine - May/June 2022

En este asunto

We strive to make each issue of Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine a collection of complementary gems, a set of well cut and well matched but distinctive jewels. Our authors are the forces of nature that produce these treasures, but we strive to show them off to their best advantage.
This May/June issue is its own cache of gems. Family dynamics produce a complex stew of expectation, loyalty, and tradition in Robert Mangeot’s thriller “Crossing the Line, Twice.” Two friends in 1950s St. Louis find themselves bystanders to a dangerous “family” drama in Christopher Latragna’s “Let’s Keep the Party Polite.” An employee of the Chicago Outfit is confronted with an extraordinary request in “Partners in Crime” by Wayne J. Gardiner. And a sheriff and his friend confront a conundrum in “The Dollhouse” by John M. Floyd.
We’re delighted to welcome three new authors to our pages this issue. Casey Karaman brings us “Locum,” a chilling tale of how a settled life can become unsettled. Pat Black describes the predicament faced by “The Man in the Long Dark Coat.” And Leslie Elman’s wealthy spinster finds her life constricted by the people who surround her in “Renée Takes Things.”
James R. Benn returns to our pages with a tale with ties to his popular Billy Boyle mysteries: “The Refusal Camp” is set within a murderous regime. And we are always delighted to welcome back Loren D. Estleman, who covers the WWII homefront in his latest exciting Four Horsemen story, “The Werewolf of Mackinac.”
Kevin Egan brings us a twisty episode from the labyrinths of the New York courts in “The Harbinger.” Joseph Goodrich turns to novelist Marcel Proust as an unlikely sleuth in “Death in Paris.” A murdered tourist finds unexpected assistance in “Detective Anne Boleyn” by Susan Breen. And a Hollywood film composer near the end of his life is confronted with his past in London in “Moonlight in Our Eyes” by Stephen Ross.
