Note only free in the UK.

The Pawn by Stephen James

Special Agent Patrick Bowers never met a killer he couldn't
catch... Until now.

Called to North Carolina to consult on the case of an area serial killer,
Bowers finds himself caught in a deadly game of cat and mouse. Cunning and
lethal, the killer is always one step ahead of the law, and he's about to
strike again. It will take all of Bowers's instincts and training to stop
the man who calls himself... the Illusionist.

Thrilling, chilling, and impossible to put down, The Pawn will hold
you in its iron grip until the very last page.

Seems to be some kind of Christian thriller.

Code Blue, by Richard L. Mabry, has been re-released under a new ASIN in the Kindle store and is now free for both US and UK customers. I don't know if this is an updated edition, but the original listing for this book, which was free three days ago, is now gone. Even if you picked it up, I'd get this one, just in case the text is different, but also so that you can tell you have purchased the book when you look at it's product page.

The first in his Prescription for Trouble series, is free courtesy of Christian publisher Abingdon Press for both Kindle and Barnes and Noble customers.

"Pawn" in previous note is good! I paid for it, a bit ago. Christian part is so hidden you won't notice it unless you look for it. One reviewer asked where the religious bits were; he hadn't seen them. So don't hold back because of this label.

P.S. later: I guess I didn't pay for Pawn; got it free. But I liked it enough to buy Knight and Rook which are next in the series!

Bargain book:

Heather Graham's The Keepers - an Urban Fantasy/Romance book (from Harlequin Nocturne) is just $0.95 at the US Kindle store.

Quote:

Product Description:

At the core of New Orleans lie the otherworldly vampires and shape-shifters that hide in plain sight among mankind. As one of the Keepers, an elite group possessing superior skill and strength, Fiona MacDonald's duty is to maintain peace in a place where one vampire's bite could ignite war. When Detective Jagger DeFarge, a vampire, is called in at the discovery of a body drained of blood, both the detective and Fiona must join uneasy forces.

Jagger will stop at nothing to find the murderer— including working with the sensual and suspicious Fiona. As more die, it becomes clear that this isn't the work of an ordinary vampire. No one is safe. So when the killer's attention turns to Fiona, will Jagger risk destroying his own species to protect the woman he so passionately desires?

The Keepers: Three extraordinary sisters, balancing the duties of their birthrights and the yearnings of their hearts…

Bargain book (Chicklit):

A Total Waste of Makeup by Kim Gruenenfelder is just $2.99 (from $9.99) at Amazon Kindle.

Quote:

Product Description:

Charlize "Charlie" Edwards certainly knows, in theory, what it takes to lead a successful and happy life. She owns a nice house in Silverlake, LA's trendiest neighborhood. She has glamorous and loyal friends who accompany her to the hottest clubs in town. And she works as the personal assistant to Drew Stanton, Hollywood's sexiest movie star. But she's also turning 30, chronically single, and faced with serving as maid of honor at her younger sister's wedding. Charlie finds herself struggling to juggle the chaos of wedding planning (while wondering if she'll ever wear the white dress herself), her all-consuming job for lunatic boss Stanton, and a serious crush on Jordan, a photographer on the set of Drew's latest feature--a man who might actually return her feelings.

A page-turner from start to finish, A Total Waste of Makeup puts a fresh face on women's fiction.

Bargain book (Historical)

Genghis: Birth of an Empire by Conn Iggulden (price has dropped further to $0.76 )

Quote:

Product Description
BONUS: This edition contains excerpts from Conn Iggulden's Genghis: Lords of the Bow and Khan: Empire of Silver.

Genghis Khan was born Temujin, the son of a khan, raised in a clan of hunters migrating across the rugged steppe. Shaped by abandonment and betrayal, Temujin endured, driven by a singular fury: to survive in the face of death, to kill before being killed, and to conquer enemies who could come without warning from beyond the horizon.

Through a series of courageous raids, Temujin’s legend grew until he was chasing a vision: to unite many tribes into one, to make the earth tremble under the hoofbeats of a thousand warhorses, to subject all nations and empires to his will.

Retro Demonology by Jana Oliver (Pre-order)

No info on Amazon, but best guess - urban fantasy? The cover says it's a short story.

I just realized that aside from Retro Demonology by Jana Oliver that I just posted, there are three more free pre-orders for the Kindle that don't have info on the product page, but based on the covers, these are all short stories/ bonus stories:

- The Backstory to Think Twice: A Special Bonus by Lisa Scottoline

- Remedial Magic by Jenna Black

Bargain book (Memoir, Vietnam):

The Vietnam memoir The Unwanted: A Memoir of Childhood by Kien Nguyen is just $2.99 (from $9.99) for the Kindle.

Quote:

Product Description:
Saigon fell to the Viet Cong on April 30, 1975. Kien Nguyen watched the last U.S. Army helicopter leave without him, without his brother, without his mother, without his grandparents. Left to a nightmarish existence in a violated & decimated country, Kien was more at risk than most because of his odd blond hair & his light eyes - because he was Amerasian. He was the most unwanted. Told with stark & poetic brilliance, this is a story of survival & hope, a moving & personal record of a tumultuous & important piece of history.

About the Author
Kien Nguyen was born in Nhatrang, South Vietnam, in 1967 to a Vietnamese mother and an American father. He left Vietnam in 1985 through the United Nations' Orderly Departure Program. After spending time in a refugee camp in the Philippines, Nguyen arrived in the United States. He is now a dentist in New York City.
