In the latest Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine<\/em> are two pieces related to the topic at hand—Lizzie Borden.<\/p>\n

One is a new work by James T. Shannon that takes place in the Portuguese-American community of Fall River, Massachusetts. I have read the story and note that while the author changes the names of locations around town (for a reason I don’t understand) you can still figure out where he is and recognize the sights and sounds of this city on the Taunton River. Shannon’s detective tale has a nice twist, and is recommended for not only the Fall River local but for the breezy writing style.<\/p>\n

This issue also includes a classic work by Marie Belloc Lowndes, author of Lizzie Borden: A Study in Conjecture<\/em> (recently reviewed by the profound Eugene Hosey in the latest issue of The Hatchet: Journal of Lizzie Borden Studies<\/em>).<\/a> The story included is her seminal work “The Lodger”—one of the earliest fictional works about Jack the Ripper published. <\/p>\n

“Crime” may be the umbrella for our magazine, but it is a wide one to encompass the variety of stories we publish. James Lincoln Warren, author of this month’s cover story, is familiar to AHMM readers for his series featuring eighteenth-century “indagator” Alan Treviscoe, but “When the Wind Blows” is a dark, contemporary tale through which California’s hot Santa Ana winds snake like a musical motif. He has recently teamed up with some mystery aficionados to start a wonderful blog dedicated to mystery short fiction. When you get a chance, check out Criminal Brief: The Mystery Short Story Web Log Project (you’ll find a link to it on our Links page).<\/p>\n

Halifax schemers Beemer and Benny team up to make a run for contraband lottery tickets in Jas. R. Petrin’s “The Golden Rule.” “A Sign of Peace” is a tale of miscues in a church in the Portuguese-American community of Fall River, Massachusetts, by James T. Shannon; and we have a new story from Bruce Graham called “Either Way” in which a crime-fighting team finds a way to snare a killer and make it stick in court.<\/p>\n

New to AHMM this month, Frank T. Wydra is the author of the gritty procedural “Street Justice.” We also welcome the return of Birney Dibble, author of “Too Cold a Trail.” Like his first story for AHMM, “Peace to Her Bitter Bones” (December, 2001), “Too Cold a Trail” reaches back to solve mysteries from the past while exploring human emotions in the present.<\/p>\n

We also bring you two private eye tales. “The Survivor of the Storms” by Dick Stodghill is a Depression-era historical featuring Akron, Ohio, P.I. Jack Eddy and young reporter Bram Geary. Loren D. Estleman’s story “Needle” is a tightly told tale of evil and misfortune compounded over decades and played out on the back porch of a Detroit bungalow.<\/p>\n

Our Mystery Classic this month is Marie Belloc Lowndes’s “The Lodger,” capturing the fear that once gripped London. Plus we have top-notch reviews by Robert C. Hahn of some recent private eye novels in our Booked & Printed feature and an in-depth look at a new sequel to the ’70s hit Death Wish in Steve Hockensmith’s Reel Crime column.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
