Joffe appear to have gotten the rights to at least the first four books in Dolores Gordon-Smith's Jack Haldean historical series, which I've quite liked. So expect some sale prices on those. Right now, the first one, A Fête Worse Than Death, is $0.99/£0.99 at Kindle US/UK. But I also suspect there may be a box set coming, since Joffe often does box sets.

Also, check carefully before you buy, because there are earlier Severn House e-book versions of these that won't show up as purchased...

Meet Jack Haldean, flying ace, gentleman about town, crime-writing sensation . . . amateur sleuth.

He is the author of many a twisty plotline. Now he must use his crime-writing skills to solve a murder for real.

Discover an utterly charming historical whodunnit that conjures all the intrigue and glamour of the roaring ’20s. Filled with fabulous flappers, magnetic aristocrats and enough red herrings to keep you guessing until the final page.

Stanmore Parry, Sussex, 1922. Warm beer, an off-key band and nosy matrons. The village fête has never been Jack’s idea of a good time. But this year will be murder . . .

A body is found in Madame Zelda’s fortune-telling tent. Someone shot him and left him there for dead.

Before long, the police turn to Jack for answers. It’s no secret that he and the victim have a history. They were both pilots with the Royal Flying Corps during World War One.

Jack couldn’t stand the man — he was an obnoxious braggart who ruffled feathers wherever he went. The real mystery is why he wasn’t murdered sooner.

When another of his acquaintances turns up dead, Jack realizes he must find the killer before fate deals him a similarly sticky end . . .
