My picks for today:
Another Gina Cresse title: Colton P.I. - Second Unit Moonlighting as a private eye between jobs as a Hollywood stuntman, Sam Colton gets hired to find a beautiful young UCLA law student who disappeared without a trace. Before long, Sam finds himself up against hired hit-men, trained Mastiffs, and an ambitious California Senator with his eye on the Presidency. ************************************************** *** Deadfall in Berlin by Robert Alexander Thirty years after his mother's murder in war-torn Berlin, Will, a Chicago actor, explores via hypnosis what he may have witnessed as a young boy. Reliving those last days of World War II, he finds not only long-buried truths, but a killer still very much on the hunt. Told with haunting detail of the last days of the war, DEADFALL IN BERLIN was an Edgar Nominee for Best Novel. Robert Alexander's other novels include The New York Times bestseller, The Kitchen Boy, and his latest, When Dad Came Back As My Dog. ************************************************** ***** Not sure if this qualifies, under mysteries, more like a caper/action book... School for Scumbags by Danny King Habitual teenage delinquent Wayne Banstead is expelled from yet another school and finds himself hauled off to Gafin School for Misdirected Boys: a special school for 'special children'. It plays host to the worst of the worst, the cream of teenage offending – thieves, bullies, arsonists and flashers. The teachers should have their work cut out, but far from rehabilitating the boys the teachers seem more intent on instructing their pupils how to get away with their misdeeds. The pros, the cons and the downfalls are all set out like an algebra equation. Even the school motto is ambiguous at best: 'Pueri Auxilium Se' or 'Help Yourselves Boys'. With careful tutoring Wayne and his classmates are about to take a step up into the big leagues. But in the big leagues the big boys play for keeps. With lots of action, swearing and a slam-bam robbery, Danny King's latest is definitely not for kids. 'Hogwarts this is not... A Just William for adults and all those sick of Potter' – The Daily Mirror |

Rashomon Gate, the 1st in the Akitada Mystery series by I. J. Parker is free at Amazon today for anyone who has been collecting this series. I haven't seen this one free before, the author recently got the rights back for it.
Edited to add: Turns out this is a repeat freebie with a different ASIN. Last edited by Synamon; 10-07-2012 at 12:44 AM. |

Fictionwise has a 60% off sale this weekend. I highly recommend the Gideon Oliver series by Aaron Elkins.
To get 60% off use code 100612 at checkout. That brings the cost down to $1.60 per book. ($1.36 if you're a buywise club member, but they no longer offer new memberships.) |

Amerotke Omnibus by Paul Doherty - 3 ancient Egypt mysteries - $9-ish for the 3
The Amerotke Omnibus is a collection of three Paul Doherty mysteries, featuring Amerotke, the Chief Judge in Thebes, Egypt during the time of the Pharoah Hatusu (more commonly spelled Hatshepsut). The three books, which are numbers 2, 3 and 4 in the series, are:
Quote:
Most (all?) of the rest of the series have recently become available as e-books in the US. A few were available previously as agency books, but now more are available and they are discountable, although not bargains, other than the Omnibus. I recommend these if you like historical mysteries. Links (hopefully affiliate free, since I started in each case by typing in the main URL and searching from there, although they look a bit messy): Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/The-Amerotke-O...words=amerotke Books on Board: http://www.booksonboard.com/index.ph...R=Paul+Doherty |
