                     MURDER ON THE INTERNET
        Mystery News from the Ballantine Publishing Group
                   - Number 22 (June 1996) -
After a killer frost one week and record-breaking ninety-degree
heat the next, it appears that summer is upon us.  And summer
means mysteries by the pool, at the beach, in the yard, and even
in the comfort of our own homes.  This issue of MURDER ON THE
INTERNET will lead you to books for any location, as well as an
interview with Edgar Award-winner Julie Smith; a focus on Jill
McGown and her mysteries; and an excerpt from Robert Cullen's new
book, DISPATCH FROM A COLD COUNTRY.  I hope you enjoy this issue
of MURDER ON THE INTERNET, wherever you may be!
