Ellery Queen Mystery Magazine
September/October 2000
And that's a pretty apt feel to the story. Sean and Matthew are a process servers who go about town handing out subpoenas and court summons.
The are pretty good at it too; we get to see all the clever ways they " get their man."
In an effort to make some extra money, the boys are allowed to go through The Icebox; literally a shoe box filled with papers that were never successfully served.
They take on the case of a deadbeat dad who's not paid his child support in years.
It becomes a challenging moral situation for Sean and Matthew - one with a satisfying end.
Sadly the author passed away in 2008
This story was collected in the book Mary, Mary, Shut the Door.
