Short fiction mysteries. We don't want character studies or mood pieces. We'd like it to lean towards noir but being a mystery -- telling a story is actually more important. Our Senior Editor put it quite succinctly: "We're looking for stories where the investigator is the protagonist, or at least a significant character, and the focus is on solving a solving a crime, or getting someone out of a jam, or seeking some sort of justice."
