Ipso Books/The Margery Allingham Estate, who have been cycling through the Margery Allingham/Campion titles at $0.99 via Kindle Countdown in the US, sent me an email introducing their "Crime Classics" line, and if you sign up for the Crime Classics email, they give you a George Bellairs title,
The Case of the Demented Spiv, for free.
Here's the text from the email, complete with link about half-way down:
Quote:
Hello from London,
Remember when you first discovered your favourite author? Picked a faded cover off a dusty shelf, turned the page of a paperback or pressed the buy now button only to be whisked away to another time, another place, and puzzled through a perfect mystery.
What a feeling. If you’re ready for your next discovery, the new adventure to be had from the comfort of your sofa, I have the perfect newsletter for you...
I love sharing Margery Allingham news, events and releases with you. But as a classic fan myself I know that it's hard to find other crime authors that write as well as Allingham.
From the beloved greats of the Golden Age to the forgotten gems, best-kept-secrets, and brand new discoveries, it's devoted to classic crime.
To sign up to the Crime Classics mailing list simply follow this link - www.crimeclassics.co.uk
The Crime Classics newsletter is much like this one, but can offer you so many more new releases and re-discoveries spanning locked room mysteries, country house murders, perfectly witty private investigators, international capers and gentleman inspectors stalking fog-laden London... The newsletter offers exclusive insights into classic novels and their authors and the chance to get copies in advance of publication. Plus when you sign up you'll receive a free novel.
Sounds good?
Then take a minute to sign up on the website www.crimeclassics.co.uk.
If you sign up before March 31st we'll also enter you in with the chance to win a five book bundle of crime classics from the Golden Age greats (including Margery Allingham of course) as well as forgotten treasures from Edmund Crispin and George Bellairs.
I hope you enjoy this chance to discover new classic crime authors.
Best wishes,
Camilla
The Margery Allingham Estate

I didn't notice this in my inbox until a couple of days ago, so the chance to win the bundle has passed, but the free book offer still worked for me as of two days ago...
