Welcome to Black Cat Weekly #49. This is another strong issue, and we lead off with an original tale by celebrated mystery author Brendan Dubois (courtesy of acquiring editor Michael Bracken). We also have a powerful crime story by Y.S. Lee (courtsey of acquiring editor Barb Goffman), and a pair of novels by Edgar Wallace and Nicholas Carter. And, of course, no issue would be complete without a solve-it-yourself mystery from Hal Charles.


On the science fiction side, acquiring editor Cynthia Ward has selected a great story by Linda D. Addison-plus we have more from George O. Smith, Poul Anderson, C. Shook, and Robert Moore Williams. Good stuff!
