Amazon AU daily deal has the first 5 of the Morgue Drawer Four mysteries by Jutta Profijt on sale at AUD99 cents. Link to Book 1 in the series)

Amazon states that Morgue Drawer Four was shortlisted for Germany's 2010 Friedrich Glauser Prize for best crime novel.

Blurb (book 1)
Spoiler:
Coroner is the perfect job for Dr. Martin Gänsewein, who spends his days in peace and quiet autopsying dead bodies for the city of Cologne. Shy, but scrupulous, Martin appreciates his taciturn clients--until the day one of them starts talking to him.

It seems the ghost of a recently deceased (and surprisingly chatty) small-time car thief named Pascha is lingering near his lifeless body in drawer number four of Martin's morgue.

He remains for one reason: his "accidental" death was, in fact, murder. Pascha is furious his case will go unsolved--to say nothing of his body's dissection upon Martin's autopsy table. But since Martin is the only person Pascha can communicate with, the ghost settles in with the good pathologist, determined to bring the truth of his death to light.

Now Martin's staid life is rudely upended as he finds himself navigating Cologne's red-light district and the dark world of German car smuggling.

Unless Pascha can come up with a plan--and fast--Martin will soon be joining him in the spirit world.


Amazon UK: not on special (Actually I've just realised Amazon is blocking me seeing the ebook price!)
Amazon CA: not on special
Amazon US: all 5 books USD75 cents

Kobo AU doesn't have this author, but maybe other Kobo countries do. (I haven't read this author/books but am going to give them a try!)
