And a few other random US Kindle Countdown titles:

When a wayward golf ball hits Matthias Kavanagh in the head, causing a fatal riding accident, it is dismissed by his friends and family as nothing more than a random and tragic act of God.

But Sister Agnes Bourdillon is troubled by the events surrounding his death, especially when she learns that another rider was injured in similar circumstances only days before.

Can it be mere coincidence, or was foul play at work?

Reason tells Agnes she is wrong to be suspicious; those closest to her beg her to let it lie.

But as a nun, she can’t accept that God and the universe can be so cruel. Another death is enough to convince her that a killer is at work.

Consumed by doubts and deserted by those she most depends upon, she will need to delve deep into her reserves of ingenuity and strength to establish not only the truth about what she’s sure is murder, but also the foundations of her own beliefs.

Ultimately, it will be another kind of faith that prevails; faith in herself.

Night Watch is an exciting and fast-paced murder mystery story from the author of Hidden Sins, The Dying Light, Dying to Know, Murder Will Out, and The Quick and the Dead.

Death in Hellfire is the 12th in the John Rawlings historical mystery series by Deryn Lake. It's at $0.99 for about 6 1/4 more days.

July 1767.

Apothecary-turned-sleuth John Rawlings is preparing to undertake his latest investigation - into the notorious Hellfire Club.

Rumoured to have been founded by Sir Francis Dashwood and its members the highest echelons of British society, the club is a byword for scandalous behaviour.

Armed with an aristocratic back story, a faithful companion and a dubious Irish accent, Rawlings descends on Sir Francis’s home attempting to gain an invite to the debauched gatherings at Hellfire headquarters, Medmenham Abbey.

But events soon take a darker turn when one of the club’s attendees is found dead.

Should Rawlings abandon his aristocratic disguise in order to investigate?

After all, one member of the household, a beautiful former lover, already knows him for who he really is.

When another visitor to the house is discovered dead soon afterwards, it becomes clear the deaths are not accidental and that Rawlings must take control.

Can he crack the case before another victim is killed?

Scattered with real characters from history, this is an 18th century murder-mystery romp from a true mistress of the genre.

Traitor's Exit is the 6th in the Boysie Oakes series by John Gardner. It's at $0.99 for about 5 1/4 more days.

Rex Upsdale is a spent, washed-out spy writer.

His trade has worn him down to the bone, and he sits alone, rejected and punch-drunk and full of self-pity. Reality and fiction have become mixed in his mind.

In increasing financial trouble, he is offered some semblance of security if he will take on just one journalistic assignment behind the Iron Curtain.

All that’s required is an interview with Kit Styles, the most notorious of all defectors from West to East.

But it’s not as straightforward as he thinks.

He hasn’t reckoned with the eternally incompetent and feckless Boysie Oakes; his puppet master, Mostyn; a neatly curved companion, Miss Hester Havisham; exploits, escapes and escapades in a tank and a helicopter and an outrageous group calling themselves the International Travelling Circus.

And if he is not careful, the Traitor's Exit might also be his own.

John Gardner, whose Boysie Oakes has become required reading for spy lovers since he first appeared in ‘The Liquidator’, has written a tale that’s part satire, part farce, always zany and certainly not for those who take their spy fiction too seriously.

'Cool polished story-telling with all the sexy sidelines in the best James Bond tradition' Evening Standard

Before becoming an author of fiction in the early 1960’s John Gardner was variously a stage magician, a Royal Marine officer and a journalist. In all Gardner has fifty-four novels to his credit, including Maestro, which was the New York Times book of the year. He was also invited by Ian Fleming’s literary copyright holders to write a series of continuation James Bond novels, which proved to be so successful that instead of the contracted three books he went on to publish some fourteen titles, including Licence Renewed and Icebreaker. Having lived in the Republic of Ireland, the United States and the UK, John Gardner sadly died in August of 2007 having just completed his third novel in the Moriarty trilogy, Conan Doyle’s eponymous villain of the Sherlock Holmes series.

As I mentioned in my previous post, Endeavour Press sometimes relists titles rather than updating, so it may not show that you have bought a title - check carefully to make sure you haven't already bought.
