Excerpts

Cold for the Bastards of Pizzofalcone

Maurizio de Giovanni, translation by Antony Shugaar

Last Tango in Cyberspace

Steven Kotler

"'Down by the Seaside' in cheerful synth tones pulls him into consciousness at 5:00 a.m."


Original Prin

Randy Boyagoda

The Helicopter Heist

Jonas Bonnier, translated by Alice Menzies

The Last Time I Saw You

Liv Constantine

The Wall

Max Annas, translated by Rachel Hildebrandt Reynolds

Theater of Spies

S.M. Stirling

Wendy Walker

"There is something all wrong about Jonathan Fields’ car."
