Five books free from John Lutz, all on Kobo.

The Ex ($3.19 Kindle) is a stand-alone novel, originally published in 1996

What Deirdre Wants, Deirdre Gets
It's so exciting to start over. Deidre Jones should know, since she's doing just that. The first step was getting out of the mental hospital in St. Louis. There were those who tried to stop her. . .so she had to make them understand: Deirdre gets what she wants. And she wants her ex-husband, David, back. He's got a new wife and a little boy. He's forgotten what he and Deirdre once shared. But it will be easy enough to remind him now that she's moved in upstairs. . .

No Matter Who Has To Die.
For David, his time with Deirdre was a dark chapter he was glad to see end. Their marriage was based on dangerous, obsessive passion-and when David left, he never looked back. He'd hoped it was the same for Deirdre, but her "neighborly" behavior soon proves him wrong. She's doing her best to manipulate herself back into his life: through his child, through seduction. . .through murder. Because Deirdre will do anything to get what can never be hers-and now David is the only one who can stop her. . .

Darker Than Night ($3.19 Kindle) is the first in the Frank Quinn series.

Darker Than Night
A killer dubbed "The Night Prowler" has turned the city that doesn't sleep into a town kept awake by terror. Unseen, he enters couples' homes. Unsuspected, he lingers until the perfect moment arrives. He leaves "gifts" for his victims-before taking their lives.

Enter ex-homicide cop Frank Quinn, still reeling in the wake of an elaborate setup that ended his career. For Quinn, this isn't just any job-it's a last chance to salvage his reputation. As the investigation proceeds, the murderer loses no time stalking new prey: a loan officer and her high-earning husband; a couple who made a killing in the stock market; a pretty actress and her prosperous lover.

With the body count rising, it's up to Quinn to unlock the mystery of a madman's past and end his bloody reign. Quinn's got his work cut out-because in a city the size of New York, any one of 8 million faces could be that of a killer-or his next target. . .

The Night Caller ($4.47 Kindle) is the first in the Night series.

Young, Beautiful...And Dead
When he stumbles across his only daughter's corpse in a deserted beachfront bungalow, devastated Ezekiel Cooper vows to find her murderer. What the former NYPD detective doesn't know is that there have been other victims. Women in Queens, Sarasota, Seattle. Women who seemingly had nothing in common, aside from a grisly fate at the hands of a chillingly clever stranger.

Bent on unmasking the shadowy culprit, Coop soon crosses paths with Maeve Callahan, who's determined to lure in her sister's killer by transforming herself into someone just like her sister. But by changing her appearance, her job, even her routine, Maeve's plan may be working too well. Because lurking in the shadows, just as Coop feared, the elusive serial killer known as the Night Caller watches her every move. . .preparing to pounce again.

The Night Watcher ($4.47 Kindle) is the second in the Night series.

Book Description
Someone is killing wealthy Manhattanites. One by one, the victims are discovered in luxurious high-rise apartments. Bound, gagged-brutally murdered in the "safety" of their own homes, by someone whose modus operandi is as horrifying as anything NYPD Detectives Ben Stack and Rica Lopez have ever seen.

As Stack and Lopez investigate the cruel deaths, they have no idea that they are being watched from the shadows-observed by a cunning murderer picking up all the clues necessary to stay one step ahead of the police while perfecting a deadly craft. And when a pattern slowly emerges, the detectives realize that the killings aren't the random acts of a maniac, but the personal campaign of someone bent on retribution. . .someone who's been watching closely and knows their case too well.

Someone whose vengeance will burn forever.

The Night Spider ($4.47 Kindle) and Night Victims ($3.19 Kindle) are actually the same novel, published under two different titles (The Night Spider was the original title). Download either or both; this is the third in the Night series.

All Wrapped Up And Ready To Die
Each woman slept in her Manhattan high-rise, behind securely locked doors. Each was sealed alive in her bedsheets and stabbed repeatedly. Each bled to a slow end. Mouths frozen in silent screams tell little to retired NYPD Captain Thomas Horn and his detectives.

Even a vet like Horn is baffled. Nothing connects the slain women except cruel murder by a cunning intruder. Sparse clues point to a wall-crawling, glass-cutting predator who enters bedroom windows with calculated ease. But as the killer grows bolder, Horn's worst fears are about to come true. Because somewhere in the dark, the Night Spider prepares to take a new victim-and this one won't be a stranger. In a desperate race against time, Horn must snare a psychopath in his own tangled web. . .or die trying.

Thanks Lene - I haven't found anyway to even check geographical restrictions at Kobo (other than when I run into pages that I can't get to, here in the US).
