Free story (Kindle UK) Cursed: A Jack Nightingale Short [Supernatural Mystery]
Cursed: A Jack Nightingale Short by Stephen Leather, is a supernatural ex-cop PI tale who presumably has his own series with a new book coming out soon, free courtesy of Hodder Stoughton.
Free to pre-order @ Amazon UK (slated for Dec 20th). Wouldn't expect to see this elsewhere, as Hodder is a UK publisher. UK buyers can also pick up one of Leather's novels really cheaply: Hard Landing: The First Spider Shepard Thriller, also published by Hodder, is a mere £0.49, less than 1/10th of the paperback cost. I thoroughly approve of this e-book pricing scheme. Just so non-UK readers don't feel left out, Leather offers a free short story via Smashwords: Inspector Zhang Gets His Wish, a murder mystery featuring a Singapore cop. Description Ex-cop turned private eye Jack Nightingale is used to dealing with tricky situations. He's faced down the powers of hell a couple of times, too. Then he's called in to help a policeman who's lying at death's door. The doctors can't work out what's wrong. But the dying man's colleagues swear blind that he was cursed by a gypsy during the Dale Farm clearance. And Nightingale could be his only hope. |

Well, yes, free stuff on Smashwords generally translates to free everywhere else, but since that wasn't the feature freebie, I didn't feel in the mood to link to the half-dozen stores that would also have it and the direct to SW for every format was easiest, especially considering Amazon still charges that $2.00 Whispernet surcharge even for freebies for certain regions, IIRC.
