eBook Description:  As always, we strive to bring a wide variety of settings and styles to our lineup of stories each month, and in are June issue we traverse the globe. Mithran Somasundrum returns with another romp through Bangkok with Vijay, a translator who takes on private detection work when business is slow, in "Under Sapparn Put." In "Death in the Keramikos Cemetery," Marianne Wilski Strong takes us to Ancient Greece, where a devastating plague is sapping Athens, and yet despite the bad times, its citizens can still muster the energy for murder. A widow tries to make sense of the murder of a kid in the bleak streets of Vladivostok in post-Soviet Russia in Michael Wiecek's story "Soldiers." And a Mystery Classic by Leo Bruce, "I, Said the Sparrow," takes us to the British countryside.
Returning to this side of the globe, "The Latin Beat" is Loren D. Estleman's twentieth story for AHMM and it features the Four Horsemen, four WWII-era Detroit policemen who constitute the Racket Squad. "Family Values" is a new investigation by Bubba Simms, Mitch Alderman's endearing Central Florida P.I. Molly MacRae teams up with Stephen Johnston to write "Cookies," a culinary mystery with a pungent aftertaste. Will Ludwigsen's "In Search Of" shows just how much variety there is to the short story form--even for the fairly plot-driven crime genre. New to us this month, Jodi Tamara Harrison brings us a story of the chain of events when a Native American boy reports seeing an infant in the river to his insightful grandmother in "Black Water, Bad Heart."
