Free (nook/Kobo/iTunes) Senator by R. Bowker [90s Political Murder Mystery Thriller]

[ATDrake]

Senator by Philip K. Dick Award-finalist Richard Bowker (ISFDB, Wikipedia) is his standalone retro political suspense thriller (non-sfnal) centred around a murder mystery and the ensuing titular politician vs killer hunt, free courtesy of publisher ePublishing Works! (exclamation mark theirs), who are e-printing it from its 1994 hardcover edition originally out from HarperCollins' William Morrow imprint.

Technically, this has previously been offered free sometime in 2012, but it doesn't seem to have gotten mentioned on MR and ePW! books mostly tend not to repeat (or they do it over a period of several years), so I'm just going to treat it as a new freebie for the purposes of the daily thread count, since the author is kind of sfnal and this has a fair amount of quoted editorial review praise from various newspaper outlets.

Currently free @ B&N (may also drop in the UK), Kobo & iTunes & Google Play (all available to Canadians). Will likely also get price-matched eventually in selected regional Amazon stores (usually just US, sometimes also Canada, and often UK), so linkage for your price-drop check convenience.

Incidentally, another old-school political thriller of Bowker's, an 80s-era near-future sci-fi technothriller, is just coming off its freebie-ization, but can still be picked up in selected stores and regions which haven't changed the price yet if you missed it earlier: Replica

Description
Jim O'Connor, the Republican senator from Massachusetts, is a handsome, charismatic family man—and a future contender for the presidency.

But when O'Connor discovers his mistress brutally murdered in her apartment, he becomes a number-one homicide suspect of the Boston Police Department.

With November on the horizon and his campaign spinning out of control, the Senator must hunt down a killer in the capital of lies—in order to salvage his battered political career...and his own life.
