A Touch of Diphtheria

A Touch of Diphtheria

by Roger MacBride Allen (Analog, February 1993)

Magazine cover: Analog Science Fiction and Fact, February 1993

An odd SF novelette told with workmanlike prose and involving a convoluted crime within several layers of deception; also, an intergalactic murder investigation where the protagonist does no investigating. She merely intuits the solution behind closed doors and plots a big reveal.
