Blackstone and the Great Game, previously published as Blackstone and the Tiger, is a (repeat) US Kindle Countdown deal. It's the second in the Blackstone series by Sally Spencer. It is $0.99 for about 3 3/4 more days before going up to $3.99. According to the SYKM website, Sally Spencer is a pen name for Alan Rustage, who wrote several mystery series under that pen name, and also the Inspector Paco Ruiz series using the pen name of James García Woods.

Quote:
A series of kidnappings seemed like straightforward, run-of-the-mill crimes at first, but Inspector Sam Blackstone soon realizes they are anything but.

This gang is so ruthless that it shocks even the hardened London criminal underworld — so efficient and meticulous in its planning that it evades all the traps the police set for it with almost contemptuous ease.

And it is plain to Blackstone that this is just a preliminary skirmish — that the gang ultimately intends to play for much larger stakes.

But Blackstone's problems are only just beginning.

When the son of the visiting Maharajah of Chandrapore - known to all as the Tiger - is taken in a full-on ambush, Blackstone realises that the previous kidnappings were just practice for a plot that impacts not only Britain, but it’s whole Empire.

Blackstone finds himself caught up in a game of cat and mouse, frantically trying to pin down the loose threads to find the lost prince before it’s too late.

But with the criminals always appearing to be one step ahead of the Inspector, he begins to suspect that the threat is closer to home than he previously thought…

Praise for Sally Spencer:

“Spencer's finest hour: a tightly plotted puzzler with surprises at every turn” Kirkus Reviews

“Spencer is an accomplished craftsman who serves up a good puzzle and deftly solves it with intelligence and insight” Publishers Weekly

“Characters are diverse, intriguing, and believable . . . plots never fail to surprise; and the procedural details are grittily realistic” Kirkus Reviews

Sally Spencer worked as a teacher both in England and Iran - where she witnessed the fall of the Shah. She now writes full time.
