"Above Suspicion," by Victoria Weisfeld, in Sherlock Holmes Mystery Magazine, #26, 2025.
This is a caper story, inspired by an actual crime. (And, interestingly enough, the second mystery I have read based on that crime.)
We watch Amit Madoor carefully recruiting a couple of unlikely accomplices for a crime. Why does he want to hire two young surgeons? What characteristics do surgeons have that would make them good candidates? And what is he offering them a million dollars each to do? No violence, he promises; just one simple felony.
I won't spoil the story by revealing the secrets. But it is a satisfying read.
