Начало книги

In 1995, the Mystery Writers of America celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the organization. As part of that celebration, last year MWA sponsored a “Golden Mysteries” short story contest with two divisions, one for new writers and one for those who had been previously published. Our readers may remember seeing the announcement of the contest in AHMM.

The winners have now been named, and we are glad to be able to bring you the three prize-winning stories in the new writers category.

First place went to Jacqueline Freimor for “Strangle, Strangle”; second place to Susan J. Pethick for “Crazy Carlos Picks a Winner”; third place to Chris Rogers for “Spare Change.”

Noted authors Clark Howard and Walter Satterthwait, along with this editor, were the contest judges for the new writers group of entries.

Ms. Freimor, a native New Yorker, is a medical editor and has an M.A. in anthropology from NYU. A second story, “The Essence of Arthur Polkowsky,” appeared last fall in Red Herring Mystery Magazine.
