Free (Kindle/iTunes) The Cilla Rose Affair [London Underground Espionage Mystery]

[ATDrake]

The Cilla Rose Affair by UK-born Canadian author Winona Kent is her contemporary espionage mystery thriller set in modern-day London (England, not Ontario), starring the aging ex-secret agent star of a 1960s cult spy show who uncovers what seems to be an intriguing underground (literally!) mystery tied to a celebrity death and thereby draws upon both his real-life and fictional experiences to try and flush out the culprits with a classic TV-styled sting operation, free courtesy of Diversion Books, who are e-printing it from an earlier self-published edition.

This is a sidequel to her 1989 novel starring related characters, Skywatcher, which was published by Seal in Canada and Bantam in the US, and was a finalist in the Seal Books First Novel Competition, according to the author's bio-blurb.

Currently free @ Amazon (available to Canadians & in the UK) & iTunes (available to Canadians and most other regions worldwide, as Diversion freebies often are).

If you happened to like this one and would like to read more, the original Skywatcher and the author's other standalone mystery/thriller reprints are couponable @ Kobo and reasonably low-priced to begin with.

And this has been the (late!) selected 3rd (non-repeat) free ebook thread of the day.

It had some stiff competition from the humorous dating advice guide which is probably more useful and entertaining in the long run, but I'm not exactly the target audience for that and I'm a sucker for "when TV/movie stars get caught up in Real Life versions of the stuff they star in" sorts of life-imitates-art wacky hijinks sorts of things, and this is by a fellow Canadian author, so bonus points.

Enjoy!

Description
A novel of espionage, intrigue, and mysterious sound waves underneath London.

Evan Harris's experiences as a spy helped make him a star playing one on TV. When Britain's best-loved breakfast show DJ dies, only Evan knows what it has to do with a pirate radio station, a long-lost diary, a suspected double agent, the London Underground, and mysterious sound waves underneath the Fitzroy Theatre.

So Evan recruits his three sons to help him unmask the traitor deep within the British spy community in a sting operation not unlike a storyline from his own cult 1960’s TV show...
