Welcome to Web Mystery Magazine's Fall 2003 Issue!

The Web Mystery Magazine is extremely proud to present this issue ... featuring articles on forensic science, on pulp fiction, on humor in mystery fiction, as well as reviews and original fiction, the second issue of Web Mystery Magazine celebrates good research and good writing!

Renowned forensic psychologist Katherine Ramsland, Ph.D., discusses new directions in criminal profiling; Dr. Anil Aggrawal recounts the history of criminal identification; Meliss Vessier-Batchen, Professor of Nursing and doctoral student in forensic nursing, contributes a definitive look at the profession of Forensic Nurse Death Investigators; and Satish Sekar, investigative reporter, summarizes the case of Lynette White, an early triumph of DNA technique.

The Devil in the White City is reviewed separately by two percipient writers, Lev Raphael and Jennifer Jordan; Dr. Katherine Ramsland contributes a review of Dr. Bill Bass' new book on the Body Farm, Death's Acre; Alberta Sproule reviews The Unknown Darkness: Profiling the Predators Among Us co-written by FBI agent Gregg McCrary and forensic psychologist Dr. Katherine Ramsland; and Nicki Leone shares a transcript of her public radio review of The German Moneyas well as providing an audio link to that on-air address.

Unsolved Crimes International, an organization recently instituted by Ronnie D. is introduced, to inaugurate a regular column which looks at the work done by its many members.

Tom and Ginger Johnson, pulp historians, contribute a brief history of the genre, and share a rare pulp cover from their collection -- again to inaugurate a regular column on the subject.

Jennifer Jordan draws on her conversations with a number of mystery authors to throw light on the subject of humor in mystery fiction.

Web Mystery Magazine again extends an invitation to participate in a survey which looks at the psychology of mystery fans.

And we are very pleased to present a page showcasing new books by Web Mystery Magazine's contributors: book summaries and links to the websites of Dr. Katherine Ramsland, Lev Raphael, Sekar Satish, and others.

Thanks for visiting!
