For some reason, that sometimes happens on Kobo links, but usually trying again later fixes it.

I just tried it and it's working from Canada, and from a US-set account, but not a UK one, which ISTR you have?

In any case, the titles which the opening blurb mentions have some sort of accolade include: Paradise Sky by Joe R. Lansdale (Library Journal Best Book of 2015); Angel Baby by Richard Lange (Dashiel Hammett Award-winning book); The Killing Kind by Chris Holm (Boston Globe's Best Book of 2015; nominated for both Anthony & Lefty Awards); Whisky Tango Foxtrot by David Shafer (Best Books list for Time Magazine, NPR, Slate, and Kirkus; Pacific Northwest Book Award shortlist); Canary by Dwayne Swierczynski (Edgar nominee); Crooked by Austin Grossman (author has won unspecified award; blurb mentions that this is a Cold War occult thriller, which actually looks interesting to me if it's anything like Charles Stross' or Tim Powers' fantasy novels about that. ETA: it turns out that the anti-hero and narrator of this is Richard Nixon. Now I'm morbidly curious, maybe even enough to get it for $2.99.).

It looks to be all recent stuff printed within the last couple of years from Little, Brown Company's Mulholland Books imprint, about two pages' worth, and includes titles by well-known authors like Lawrence Block, Marcia Clark (the O. J. Simpson case prosecutor, IIRC), Lauren Beukes, Anthony Horowitz (another Holmes continuation novel), a Japanese novel in translation, and something with an introduction by Stephen King.

I think this publisher sorted by price list should bring it up even if the direct promo link doesn't work, starting on page 3 @ $2.99 (though as I mentioned, a few of the books seem to be $1.99 elsewhere, but I guess that's what the Price Match Guarantee is for).
