Worse Than Death in Mystery Scene

 Ben Boulden writes the "Short and Sweet" column for Mystery Scene, reviewing his favorite short stories.  In issue 166 he reviews issue 6 of Black Cat Mystery Magazine.  He ends with these fine words of wisdom.

My favorite story in this issue is Robert Lopresti's brilliant 'Worse Than Death,' about the kidnapping of a brutal dictator's son.  It is surprising and original from beginning to end, but that final twist is absolutely perfect.  

Thanks, Mr. Boulden.
