A few Endeavour Press US Kindle countdown deals, all at $0.99, a couple of repeats, a couple new, at least to me. Keep in mind that Endeavour likes to "relist" titles, so a previous purchase may not show up, so check carefully before buying if you are interested in any of these.
Kill the Butler!, 3 1/2 more days on countdown, is the sixth in the Inspector Henry Peckover series by Michael Kenyon. (For once, Endeavour has not changed the title of the previously published edition...)

Quote:
When New York millionaire Lou Langley dies in a mysterious hit and run accident, questions are asked…
Henry Peckover, Chief Inspector from Scotland yard, is flown in to investigate.
Going in undercover as a quaint English butler, Peckover (aka Jarvis) will be clearing tables, serving drinks, and interviewing suspects.
And trying not to get caught, of course.
Jetlagged and exhausted, Peckover takes a night-time stroll along the beach.
But someone else is out that night, and when Peckover goes investigating he gets far more than he bargained for.
Things quickly escalate and he soon finds himself fending off an attack from the mysterious, dark figure.
In a desperate act of self-defence, he manages to get his teeth around the man’s ankle just before the suspect escapes.
Looking for bite marks, Peckover sets out to check the ankles of his two main suspects – the cook, Joop, and Ahoy’s caretaker, Timothy Thwaite.
The problem is that both of them have vanished.
Finding two men in New York will be hard enough, but storm clouds are on the way.
Hurricane Doris is coming and if Peckover doesn’t watch out, he’ll be swept away before he can find the killer.
Kill the Butler! is the latest instalment in the Inspector Peckover series.

Quote:
'A Soldier's Honour' brings together three Sgt Major Crane thrillers in one blockbuster omnibus. These tense, twisting, emotionally compelling crime thrillers will enthral fans of Angela Marsons, Rachel Abbott, Robert Bryndza and Robert Dugoni.
The greater the evil the higher the price...
When a soldier is found to have killed his family in a brutal attack, British Army Detective Sgt Major Tom Crane and his team are called in to bring a swift resolution. But, as more vengeful killings by soldiers of their families come to light, it soon becomes clear that there is something far more sinister at work. Crane knows there must be a connection. But what?
'40 Days 40 Nights'
An evil game is in play... does Crane know the rules?
What could be simpler than keeping Team GB safe as they make their final preparations for the Olympic Games on Aldershot Garrison? But when the body of a soldier is discovered and supplies start disappearing, Crane knows that an altogether more sinister game is in play. As time ticks down, no one knows who the next target will be, or who the player is. But he's there, hiding in plain sight. Far closer than anyone thinks...
'Honour Bound'
When a young woman is found raped and murdered in her home following a night out in Aldershot, the only clues are witness statements claiming the attacker was a soldier. When there is another attack chillingly close to home, Crane knows he is hunting a serial killer and a rapist, but no longer knows who is innocent and who is guilty. Is the killer really a soldier? How does he manage to operate in plain sight? And can Crane catch him before he strikes again?
