I really liked this one, too.

So I'd give the others a shot, definitely.

Another repeat freebie from Michael A. Smith: Jeremiah Terrorist Prophet (Jeremiah Trilogy)

In this first book of a trilogy, Jeremiah, who claims to be a modern-day religious prophet, begins killing the "evil ones"--pedophiles, bullies and rapists, prison inmates, stock market manipulators and crooked politicians. At the same time, he progressively publishes on the Internet a new book of the Christian Bible revealed to him by God. It demands strict adherence to God's commandments: "Obey or die!" is the general rule. Jeremiah urges his followers to create a "New America" in the Dakotas, where believers will implement God's revised plan for mankind.

The 24th Letter (Sean O'Brien series #2) - Tom Lowe [Mystery/Thriller]

Amazon US---Amazon UK

-This book was originally published by Minotaur in 2010.

-Book #1 - A False Dawn was posted as Free on Aug. 6 by Nightbird.

When Father John Callahan hears the confession of a frightened prison inmate, he learns that a man facing lethal injection is innocent. The lead investigator on the case, his friend Sean O’Brien, is still haunted by the case. The 24th letter in the Greek alphabet—Omega—may provide the key to uncovering the killer’s identity.

From Publishers Weekly:
Lowe's heated follow-up to 2009's A False Dawn catapults former Miami homicide detective Sean O'Brien into a desperate race to save the life of a man he helped send to death row. The near-death confession of prison inmate Sam Spelling comes just 84 hours before Charlie Williams is scheduled to die for the murder of his girlfriend, Alexandria Cole. Spelling names the killer and the location of the murder weapon in a written confession that never reaches O'Brien. Meanwhile, Cole's killer tries to cover his tracks with fresh murders. O'Brien enlists the help of an FBI friend, a couple of former police colleagues, and a renowned defense attorney, but basically is on his own against a wily opponent. As the clock ticks, O'Brien must break a few heads and many laws as well as try to decipher a mysterious if contrived clue, an omega (the 24th letter of the Greek alphabet), to the killer's identity.

"The fast pace and physical smack-downs in The 24th Letter will be perfect for fans of TV's 24."
-Kirkus Review

"The 24th Letter is very well written with a dark tone. It's a cross between James Lee Burke, James MacDonald and Lee Child."

Swarm - Jon Evans [Technothriller]

Amazon US---Amazon UK

-This author has been published by HarperCollins, Vertigo, etc.

James Kowalski is having a bad week. First he found out his genius girlfriend Sophie has been hiding something important from him. Now the US government wants her to investigate a drug cartel's new weapon: unmanned drones. Drones that happen to look a whole lot like the ones his best friend Jesse uses to hunt treasure in the Caribbean--or so Jesse says.

Then a research trip goes violently wrong, and James finds himself stranded deep in the Colombian jungle, on the run from brutal drug lords.

But things don't get truly desperate until he stumbles upon what's really going on. Because that just might be the end of the world as we know it...

From the Author:
Swarm is a sort-of-sequel - more of a companion piece, really - to my novel Invisible Armies.

What's A Girl Gotta Do? (Robin Hudson Mysteries - Book #1) - Sparkle Hayter [Humorous Mystery]

Amazon US---Not Free at Amazon UK

-Previously published by Penguin in 1995.

Who is investigating the investigative reporters of the All News Network, and why? When a private investigator turns up dead, Robin Hudson and most her colleagues become suspects. Which of this mad crew is the killer, and how will Robin find out before she too ends up on a slab?

"Flat-out funny, audacious and a little bit weird, Hayter stakes out territory all her own . . .. For readers who respond to this brand of humor, Hayter's next book can't be published soon enough." Publisher's Weekly (starred review).

"Put down the paper right now and go out to buy What's a Girl Gotta Do by Sparkle Hayter . . . a mystery where you wait on the edge of your seat not for the next murder, but for the next thing Robin is going to say." The Washington Post.

"Enough fun here to make us beg for another installment." Vogue

"Hilarious." Playboy

"The funniest thing to come out of Canada since the moose." Red Magazine

"A hilariously written romp across the gender divide, downtown Manhattan's alternative scenes, and the frenetic world of TV News." Entertainment Weekly

From Publishers Weekly:
Hayter, a journalist and stand-up comic, mines what she knows in this well-plotted mystery featuring an off-the-wall amateur sleuth. Robin Hudson, a "third-string correspondent" for TV's All News Network, saves news clippings on murder victims and grows poison ivy in the New York apartment she had shared with her husband, Burke Avery, until Amy Penny, an ANN magazine show co-host, swiped him. Robin observes Burke and Amy billing and cooing at the network's New Year's Eve party at a Manhattan hotel just before a stranger slips her a page from a PI report on herself and suggests she go to room 13D. No one answers at 13D and Robin suspects a prank until news breaks that a PI was bludgeoned to death in that room and that Robin was the last one seen in the area. She begins investigating on her own, while folks around ANN turn edgy: some shared an acquaintance with the PI that was more intimate than congenial. Someone breaks into Robin's apartment, leaving her to relish the one bright spot in her life--the sudden interest of good-looking producer Eric Slansky. Flat-out funny, audacious and a little weird, this debut stakes out territory all its own. For readers who respond to this brand of humor, Hayter's next book can't be published soon enough.
