“Fiction River: Crime edited by Kristine Kathryn Rusch leads off with strong new tales by three familiar EQMM contributors: Doug Allyn with a gangster whodunnit, Steve Hockensmith with a con game story, and Brendan DuBois with a fresh variation on the old brothers-who-took-different-paths ploy. A sampling of other contents, including experimental short-shorts by Melissa Yi and M. Elizabeth Castle and a clever turn on the greedy-relatives-want-inheritance by Kate Wilhelm, suggest high quality throughout."
—Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine on Fiction River Special Edition: Crime

“Among the volume’s better entries are Doug Allyn’s “Hitler’s Dogs,” in which narrator Doc Bannan seeks the truth about his gang mentor’s death, and Steve Hockensmith’s “Wheel of Fortune,” which relates the schemes of a pair of con artists.”
—Publishers Weekly on Fiction River Special Edition: Crime

That’s why, on the weekend before the All-Ireland Road Bowling Championship, two strong men will square off in a winner-take-all shootout.

Davis Tone and Barry Murphy, warriors equally matched, waging a final battle in a cross-border rivalry that’s been simmering for the better part of a decade.

The Priest Hunter Jun 23, 2019

by Patrick O'Sullivan

$2.99

In the early 1700s a conniving man in Ireland could earn a mighty wage betraying his friends, his family, and his faith. Priest hunters they were called, bounty hunters scouring the countryside for Catholic clergy. Countryside like the Burren, a desolate, treeless landscape of unrelenting stone.

In Irish a wolf is called ‘mac tíre’, which means literally, ‘son of the countryside’. But the Burren is no country for wolves.

A priest hunter couldn’t run into a wolf there.

He’d have to cross paths with something much more dangerous.

A daughter of the countryside.

This historical crime story originally appeared in, “Fiction River: Past Crime (Kobo Edition).”

by Patrick O'Sullivan

$2.99

Kill or be killed.

That’s why, once O’Casey’s heels kiss New York concrete, he keeps moving.

Moving up 5th Avenue, toward the mansion of Josiah Stride, the crooked Wall Street alchemist whose wartime profiteering turned lead into gold and American boys into casualties.

Stride, like the rest of the country, thinks the war is over.

Like hell it is.

Fans of Mickey Spillane and Mike Hammer may find John O’Casey’s ugly mug appealing.

This story originally appeared in “Fiction River: Pulse Pounders Adrenaline”.
