In this issue

Access, knowledge, camouflage—sometimes the greatest threats to an organization are internal. Several of our stories this month examine crimes that arise on the inside.

In “Faraway Nearby,” David Edgerley Gates brings together tribal police, the FBI, and the New Mexico state police when bodies are found in a burned-out SUV—and the car is traced to a border-town official. On Wall Street, a missing ring, then a missing “quant,” point to an internal threat in James L. Ross’s “The Gypsy Ring.” In “Dress Blues,” Chris Muessig sets his investigation in the closed society of a stateside army base during the turbulent Vietnam War era. And in perhaps the ultimate insider story, a disgraced cop holds a copywriter hostage to tell his version of events in Robert Lopresti’s “Two Men, One Gun.”

Meanwhile, a priest and a private investigator, brothers in a Canadian fishing community, approach the same situation from two different directions in Jas. R. Petrin’s “Under Cap Ste. Clare.” And in “The Hunting Party,” Tony Richards imagines an Africa in the future in which a Nobel Prize-winning scientist looks to the past with more than just nostalgia.

Inside our pages you’ll find a sampling of the best crime fiction around. Enjoy!
