This issue, we have a triple-play of original mysteries, with new works by John M. Floyd, Alan Orloff, and Pam Barnsley, plus a winter-themed solve-it-yourself puzzler, and something special: the first English-language appearance of a Raffles story by Theo von Blankensee and Kurt Matull. (See my introduction before the story.) We have more of their Lord Lister-Alias Raffles series coming up soon.

On the science fiction side, we have Anna Tambour's 'Murder at the Tip,' featuring a wedding and a murder in a Gothic future; a Christmas story by John Stilletto; plus classics by Philip Jose Farmer and James H. Schmitz. Rounding things out is the fourth part of Francis Jarman's serial novel, The Eagle's Wing.
