Now Dying to Call You, the third title in the Helen Hawthorne/Dead End Job series by Elaine Viets, is on sale both in the US and the UK, for $0.99/£0.99 respectively. It is a Kindle Countdown deal good for about 3 more days in the US and 6 more days in the UK, before going up to $1.99 and £1.99.

Although it turns out that the recent price drop to free on the first title in this series is gone, the second title, Murder Between the Covers, is still £0.99 in the UK for about two more days, and $1.99 in the US for about 2 more days. See this previous post. It seems as if the rights may have reverted on at least the early titles in this series, and perhaps Viets is working her way through putting them on Countdown...

From Anthony and Agatha Award-winning author Elaine Viets—the thrilling mystery series about one woman trying to make a living... while other people are making a killing.

Still living under the radar in Fort Lauderdale due to her refusal to pay her ex-husband’s spousal support, Helen Hawthorne’s latest workaday job might just be the lowest rung on the employment ladder—telemarketing. She’s spending her hours interrupting dinners and disturbing slumbers, and in return hearing curses and extremely rude suggestions.

Then, while Helen is conducting a phone survey with the wealthy Henry “Hank” Asporth, he puts the receiver down without hanging up…and Helen can’t believe what she hears next. She can just make out a man and a woman arguing, a short scream cut off by a horrible choking sound, then an eerie silence followed by a final “click.”

Convinced she just heard a murder being committed—but with no solid proof—Helen is driven to find out what really happened with Hank and the mystery woman. But if she’s not careful, she just might end up holding a dead line of her own…
