eBook Description: Our December issue is here, and it's our favorite time of year: Time for you to send us your 2009 Readers Award ballots, and tell us which of the year's stories you liked best! Before making your choices, be sure to read this last issue of 2009. See mysteries unfold by paper trail, first in a series of letters to an old school chum, in Richard A. Lupoff's "Patterns," then in a teenager's journal washed up on the Jersey shore, in David Dean, "Erin's Journal." Catch a glimpse of a criminal: a neighbor, paddling onto the lake with a guest but returning alone, in Jean Rae Baxter's "An Afternoon at the Cottage"; or a frightening, somehow familiar, figure fleeing the scene of a crime, in Robert Barnard's "Memory." Follow along with the narrator as he tries to track down his vanished friend in debut author Ryan Daff's Department of First Stories entry, "Gone Missing"; discover the truth about why a wife would leave her husband in Mick Herron's "Dolphin Junction"; and feel the menace beneath the jollity of a German church festival in Friederike Schmo�'s Passport to Crime story, "Death of a Fish Concessionaire." Close out the issue in a lighter mood, with "The Problem" by Phil Lovesey, an ironic twist-in-the-tailer about a husband and wife and their favor to a presumptuous friend, and with "Sea Change" by Brynn Bonner, a comic caper about a pair of P.I.s whose investigation goes south--way south--all the way to Tierra del Fuego.
