J. Carr are both on the case, in John H. Dirckx’s “Dead Man’s Shoes” and S. L. Franklin’s “Worst Case Scenario,” respectively; and Pandora Parson appears with her signature wit in a satisfying puzzler (“Pandora’s Station” by Gilbert Stack).

This season you can sing a merry tune with Robert Lopresti in the colorful tale “Devil Chased the Wolf Away,” and do some Black Friday shopping with Kristine Kathryn Rusch in her story of revenge and financial espionage, “Sheltered Assets.” Tim Chapman and Robert S. Levinson shine their light on the domestic realm in “The Seed” and “After Daddy Died.”
