Mystery Weekly Magazine: August 2018 (Mystery Weekly Magazine Issues)

In our cover feature, “After We Lost Her” by Joseph S. Walker, Cindy was Sean Flynn's dream girl, until she met the cop who stole her away. When tragedy strikes, can Sean swallow his pride and team up with the very same cop to take on his own outlaw clan? Ken Brosky’s chilling tale, “The Cold Hunt”, begins with a mysterious death in the Russian wilderness. A town under siege by a man-eating tiger reacts in anger and a pair of researchers will stop at nothing to find the truth. In “Bernal Heights” by D.V. Bennett, Bobby Coldiron is a man on a mission. He would like to enjoy life with the woman of his dreams while he's young. Two problems. One, he hasn't told the woman yet and two … he has told his boss, and his boss says retirement is out of the question. Leland Neville brings us to “Temptation Square” where Evil lurks inside the tourist destination and only one lonely private investigator cares. Conspiracy and surrealism abides throughout. In “It’s All Relative” by Jerry Cronin, a young high school student beat up by a policeman can’t seem to fight the corruption and thinks his beloved and idolized uncle betrayed him. Just your typical family reunion on a beautiful summer day. Till the truth comes out. Darren O. Godfrey’s “Family Matters” proves you never can tell what may happen. 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.

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.
