The Cleaner - John Milton #2 By Mark Dawson

Publication Date: July 8, 2013
Meet John Milton

He considers himself an artisan. A craftsman. His trade is murder.

Milton is the man the government sends after you when everything else has failed. Ruthless. Brilliant. Anonymous. Lethal. You wouldn't pick him out of a crowd but you wouldn't want to be on his list. But now, after ten years, he's had enough - there's blood on his hands and he wants out. Trouble is, this job is not one you can just walk away from.

He goes on the run, seeking atonement for his sins by helping the people he meets along the way. But his past cannot be easily forgotten and before long it is Milton who is hunted, and not the hunter.

The Cleaner

A career of state-sanctioned murder has taken its toll. Milton is troubled by nightmares, a long line of ghosts who torment his dreams. He resolves to make his next job his last and, then, perhaps, he can start to make amends for everything that he has done.

Sharon Warriner is a single mother in the East End of London, suicidal with fear that she's lost her young son to a life in the gangs. After Milton saves her life, he promises to help. But the gang, and the charismatic rapper who leads it, is not about to cooperate with him.

As London burns through summer riots, Milton finds himself in unfamiliar territory, dealing with an unfamiliar foe. And when his employer sends another agent after him, the odds against him are stacked even higher.

Three, Four ... Better lock your door. (Rebekka Franck #2) By Willow Rose

These are the search results - sorry, they're kinda ugly, my skillz are not so hot...I skipped ahead past the 100 Agathie Christie shorts...

Thanks for this tip ... the Rory Clements John Shakespeare looks intriguing!

Carved in Bone by Jefferson Bass is .99 and a fabulous start to this series. I'm right down the road from The Body Farm, and these books are great and so true for this area.

http://www.amazon.com/Carved-Bone-Bo...9958281&sr=1-1

There is a patch of ground in Tennessee dedicated to the science of death, where human remains lie exposed to be studied for their secrets. The real-life scientist who founded the "Body Farm" has broken cold cases and revolutionized forensics . . . and now he spins an astonishing tale inspired by his own experiences.

Renowned anthropologist Dr. Bill Brockton has spent his career surrounded by death at the Body Farm. Now he's being called upon to help solve a baffling puzzle in a remote mountain community. The mummified corpse of a young woman dead for thirty years has been discovered in a cave, the body bizarrely preserved and transformed by the environment's unique chemistry. But Brockton's investigation is threatening to open old wounds among an insular people who won't forget or forgive. And a long-buried secret prematurely exposed could inflame Brockton's own guilt—and the dangerous hostility of bitter enemies determined to see him fail . . . by any means necessary.

Does anyone have the third in the series Morgue Drawer For Rent by Jutta Profijt that they'd be willing to lend via email thru Amazon?

PM me if you do!

[Wald07]

Noticed that Mr. Churchill's Secretary, by Susan Elia MacNeal, is currently on sale for $1.99.

• BN

This entertaining spy thriller about a young woman working for the prime minister in the early days of WWII is the first of the Maggie Hope series. I just happen to have finished listening to the audiobook version yesterday, and enjoyed it very much. Maggie is a likeable heroine, and there's a lot of nice period detail and an interesting plot.

Thanks -- it looks like fun!

I am not sure if it is available in the US since Quercus is a UK publisher, but for me it isn't just Carved in Bone that is discounted. Flesh and Bones and The Bone Thief is discounted to only 1.38 dollar at Kobo. ( Might have the same price at Amazon UK, I haven't checked.)

Edit:
I was wrong. All the Jefferson Bass novels (UK edition) is discounted to 1.38.

[ChandaK562]

How do you get to the Kobo UK site? I was able to buy Beyond the Body Farm by Quercus for 1.38 with a coupon but the other books aren't showing up at the discount price on the US site and I'm dying to get the rest of them.

Not in Kobo Australia, unfortunately - the Bass novels are still $A12 each, and "Mr Churchill's Secretary" is unavailable!
