Bargain @ $1.99 from Soho Press, who have rotated their usually monthly offerings (couponable/VIP-discountable in Canada but not the US, should be the same price at all the other retailers in North America):
- The Thief by Japanese author Fuminori Nakamura (SYKM, Wikipedia). A literary noir crime thriller which won him the 2010 Kenzaburō Ōe Prize in its original Japanese. SYKM says this is the first in a set with a particular recurring character. At Kobo UK, this is priced at £1.99 from Little, Brown & Co.'s Corsair imprint.
- Getaway by Lisa Brackmann (SYKM), a vacation thriller where everything seems to go wrong for a newly-widowed woman who finds herself mixing up with the wrong crowd while trying to get away from it all. SYKM says this was also published as Day of the Dead under the variant credit of Lisa Brackman with one-N, and has a recently-written sequel.
- Converging Parallels by British author Timothy Williams (SYKM, Wikipedia), 1st in his Piero Trotti series starring a police commissioner in Northern Italy. SYKM says this was a finalist for the 1982 New Blood Dagger Award. This is £1.82 at Kobo UK, which seems a decent price (the sequels are £5.39 each); rights to most of Soho's series are owned by other imprints there.
They don't seem to have any tie-in sales for further works by the same authors this time around, but maybe they'll add some later.
