Issue four closes our exciting first year with the very talented debut of Arthur Klepchukov. His intelligent "A Damn Fine Town" is followed by film director and writer John Shepphird and a prequel to his award-nominated "Shill" trilogy, a bit of a teaser for those of you who may not have discovered Jane Innes...yet. Brian Silverman is up next with a story set on his fictional Caribbean island of St. Pierre featuring his characters, Leonard and Tubby. The featured story this issue is of the most excellent Inspector Kubu by the writing team of Michael Stanley. If "Shoot to Kill" is your first Kubu tale, believe me, he''s only better when he''s in a novel. Our featured historical story is by the very prolific, very good Frederick C. Davis, who became one of Harry Whittington''s "St. Pete Boys," the group of writers like Gil Brewer, Day Keene, and occasionally John D. MacDonald, that met on Sunday afternoons at Harry''s house. Davis''s story is the first Secrets, Inc. installment, "Blood on the Block." We close out the issue with an offbeat heist story by Robb T. White called "Inside Man," and a short piece by the always terrific Lissa Marie Redmond, who first appeared in issue two, called "We Don''t Talk About Lester Anymore." There''s a good reason for that.

"The NYPD has a secret they''d like to keep in the past. Detective Jack Kenny doesn''t like keeping secrets." Conservative, stubborn, and frustrated by institutional red tape, Detective Jack Kenny solves crimes the old-fashioned way. If there''s anything that thirty-plus years in the NYPD--or being born into a family of Irish Catholic cops--teaches you, it''s that good police officers need little more than a badge, a six-shot revolver, and some seasoned street smarts to get the answers they need. Kenny''s partner, the young, beautiful, and technologically savvy Carmen Romero, believes that computers--not hunches--are the key to identifying and catching today''s toughest criminals. Together, Kenny and Romero make a pairing as fiery as it is effective. But when a new witness to the grisly, thirty-year-old "Bronx Barber" murder comes forward, linking the brutal slashing of a prostitute with an NYPD stag party gone wild, the duo''s skills and loyalties are put to the test like never before. Suddenly, Jack''s long-deceased first partner is implicated in the crime, and an unpaid debt drives the veteran detective to get to the heart of a secret that the NYPD would prefer to leave in its past. With pressure escalating and time running out, Kenny and Romero''s frantic search for truth will put their careers, reputations, and lives at stake. Along the way, they''ll learn just how strong the ties that bind New York''s Finest really are.
