(Get a two-year subscription plus issue 69 featuring a previously unpublished short story by James M. Cain, Jacqueline Winspear, J.T. Ellison, Adam Hamdy and Vaseem Khan.)

We’re very proud to feature in our 69th issue an unpublished short story by James M. Cain.  Here,  James M Cain serves up
vintage noir—complete with gritty dialogue, a damaged war hero, and a young femme fatale who thinks she’s a lot harder than she really is—only to then turn the tale on its head in the very final scene.

From post-war America, we go to post-independence India, where Vaseem Khan pits the country’s first female police officer against prejudice, corruption, and murder in “Ace of Spades.” Moving to modern-day neo-noir, Adam Hamdy lays out “Tarot,” in which a New York City psychiatrist’s world is upended after an eerie session with his new patient. John Floyd takes us back to small-town America in “Last Day at the Jackrabbit,” where a small-time crook and his moll get more than they bargained for. And we round out our short stories this issue with Mike Adamson’s “The Affair of the Russian Violinist,” a locked-room mystery that has Holmes and Watson racing against time to avert a diplomatic crisis.

Pivoting to nonfiction, we are thrilled to share firsthand insight from one of today’s best-selling mystery writers in “Quest for Gold.” For fans of the Maisie Dobbs series—and stellar storytelling in general—Jacqueline Winspear’s insights into the heart of great writing amount to a master class on what it takes to bring a story to life.

We also have an exclusive interview with the incomparable J.T. Ellison.

Our team of reviewers has worked hard to provide a timely and interesting mix of the latest mysteries and thrillers out there. Fans of the Batman franchise should not miss Chris Chan’s review of the Blu-ray Batman: The Long Halloween.

The Strand Magazine continues to bring our readers the best in fiction, interviews with authors, as well as insightful book and audiobook reviews. In addition featuring this unpublished short story by James M. Cain , we’ve featured unpublished works by other legendary authors including  Shirley Jackson, Raymond Chandler, H.G. WellsAgatha ChristieDashiell Hammett, Tennessee WilliamsLouisa May Alcott  and Ray Bradbury.
