eBook Description: With our December issue we've changed our trim size and tweaked the look of the interior a little. What hasn't changed, though, is the lavish variety of crime fiction we offer each month. Alice A. and Ernest B. Brown bring back their intrepid Boston P.I. Valerie Dymond in "Haven't Seen You Since the Funeral" (excerpted here). Gilbert M. Stack shows us what a criminal trial in Medieval England looked like in "Guilt" (excerpted here). R. T. Lawton's hapless crooks return for another caper in "Grave Trouble," and in "Comes Around" author Chris Rogers offers up a dark tale about a poker-playing vigilante who finds the tables have turned on him. Our mystery classic this month is Agatha Christie's "The Sign in the Sky" featuring the mysterious Mr. Quin. And since this issue will be on the newsstands in time for Halloween, we have two horror stories to send the shivers up your spine. Sherry Decker's nurse in "The Proper Application of Pressure to a Wound" is already coping with a poor job history, anger issues, and freakish karma--and then she crosses paths with a killer. And James Van Pelt's teenage newspaper deliverer has issues with a bully in "Carrying the News for a Dead Paperboy." So lock the doors, close the curtains, and prepare to be spooked with our lineup of terrific crime fiction.
