Kiwi crime writer Stephen Ross in this month's AHMM

Hamilton-based mystery writer Stephen Ross has a short story, entitled "Boundary Bridge", in the March 2010 issue of Alfred Hitchcock's Mystery Magazine. Ross has written and had published several mystery short stories, and also has two short stories coming out in upcoming issues of AHMM's 'sister' publication, Ellery Queen's Mystery Magazine.

As many of you will be aware, for over fifty years, Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine has been one of the foremost publishers of mystery, crime, and suspense short stories. AHMM each month publishes mystery fiction of the broadest range and the highest quality, featuring every subgenre of mystery fiction. Several of the biggest names in crime and mystery writing have contributed over the decades, and stories published in AHMM have won dozens of writing awards. Quite simply, AHMM is one of the premier short story publications in the world.

One of six brand new mystery short stories in the March 2010 issue (along with a classic mystery short story, "The Shape of the Sword" by Jorge Luis Borges), "Boundary Bridge" features an expatriate American script writer who "exhibits a rather low threshold for the petty annoyances of life".
