Thanks to Nightbird (who spotted the current William Diehl offerings) for the update! See posts #9 and #10 for book details.

As far as I'm aware, these are first-time backlist offers, and we've gotten 4 of them in very short order. I believe I've read all of these years ago: like all of Diehl's books, I found it very entertaining. Diehl writes thrillers that generally have a big plot twist at the end. My wife always claimed to see the plot twist coming way in advance, and therefore found the books less engrossing than I did (maybe being less intuitive has an advantage sometimes.....)-- definitely worth a try if you enjoy this type of book!

Both of the following have been offered previously, so you might already have them...
If you missed them, and they're in a genre you enjoy, I can recommend both.
Illegal by Paul Levine
http://www.amazon.com/ILLEGAL-ebook/dp/B007Q4RO5W
Free, July 4-July 8. This is a standalone thriller by the author of the Solomon vs. Lord series (legal mystery with comedic overtones) that's been mentioned in several recent threads in this forum. I must admit that the Solomon vs. Lord series are my personal favorite of his books, but all are worthy reads! (There's also a Lassiter series, more conventional mystery; and several standalone thrillers.) Levine's various books have received nominations for Edgar, International Thriller, Macavity and James Thurber awards. Levine's characters always seem to be fully fleshed-out, with lives and concerns beyond the direct plot aspects of the book.
Seven Ways to Die by William Diehl
http://www.amazon.com/Seven-Ways-to-.../dp/B007HH8B28
Free at least for today.
Diehl was a New York Times bestselling author, perhaps most recognized for Sharky's Machine. When Diehl died in 2006, this novel was about 3/4 completed. It was finished with the help of long-time associates from Diehl's notes.
