William L DeAndrea's
Killed on the Ice (published in the US, at least, by Open Road) is on sale for $1.99 through 12/31/2014, per their daily email which hit my inbox this morning. Open Road titles are usually couponable in multiple Kobo stores.
This is the fourth in DeAndrea's series featuring Matt Cobb, who is an "executive problem solver" for a fictional TV network. I'm not quite sure why this blurb says it's the "last installment" - I've read the whole series and there are several more after this one. Oh well...the rest of the description seems pretty accurate.

Matt Cobb deals with love and murder on the rink
In the last installment of the popular Matt Cobb series, the TV network’s expert troubleshooter, faces a literal case of cold-blooded murder. At two in the morning, he stands in a Manhattan ice rink, over the grisly body of Dr. Paul Dinkover. The network was supposed to be taping a figure-skating special, and this discovery can’t be a coincidence.
The victim is a psychologist, one so thoroughly disagreeable that any number of people could be considered suspects—including beautiful Wendy Ichimi, the show’s celebrity skater. But while Cobb’s men are mysteriously attacked, he can’t stop thinking about the way Dinkover died gripping an American flag, a symbol or clue he can’t unravel. And as the leads and tension mount, it will take all of Cobb’s strength to keep his cool and remain on his two feet.

Although I'm usually more into historical mysteries, I quite enjoyed this series in DTB. It's a little odd that it's the fourth and not the first in the series that's on sale, but that's just the way it is.
