Crimeucopia - A Load Of Balls

Play Ball!

Or, in this case, Balls. When we put the call out we didn't expect so many to step up to the plate. And while none (that we know of, that is) have previously appeared in any swimsuit edition of a particular Sports magazine, the 19 players here all have tales designed to serve you a slurve of a plotline, with clues as devious as a full-on wormburner from a regular swinging pin-seeker.

And while Casey works out which end of the bat is which, we let: Arthur Vidro, Dave Dempster, Diana Parrilla, John M. Floyd, Jesse Aaron, John B. Elliott, William Kitcher, J. F. Benedetto, Nikki Knight, Mark James McDonough, Paul R. Paradise, Robert Petyo, S. B. Watson, Wendy Harrison, Kai Lovelace, Diane A. Hadac, Wil A. Emerson, Ed Teja, and Harris Coverley show us just how adept they all are at juggling clues, punting plotlines, and serving up tales that are guaranteed to ace it in one.

So, as with all of these anthologies, we hope you find something that you can immediately roll with, as well as something that takes you over your Mid-Court Line, and slam dunks you into a completely new No Charge Zone. Because, in the home team locker room spirit of our Murderous Ink Press motto: You never know what you like until you make a play for it.
