WHAT DO YOU DO IF A SPY COMES FOR YOU?

Spies have been with us as long as we’ve told stories. One group is always spying on another, trying to find out what they’re up to, whether it’s for government secrets or just to find out what’s for dinner.

In the current issue MYSTERY, CRIME, AND MAYHEM, you’ll find nine fascinating, thrilling, and even funny stories about spies and their world, plus an essay!

The members of the MCM syndicate don’t disappoint when it comes to various types of spies. There are a few representations of more classic spies. Historic spies. But also, football spies. Even drag queen spies.

Check out my take on espionage in Cold War Poland. My short story, “Covert Action in Toys”, features twenty-seven-year-old Casey Collins. Working as budget officer at the US Embassy in Warsaw, Casey is no spy.

Unfortunately, her kind offer to the Polish gentleman seated beside her at an official dinner could get her into trouble. Can she risk playing Santa Claus for her dinner partner’s adorable four-year-old grandson?
