Several titles in Gerald Hammond's Keith Calder series have dropped to $0.99/£0.99 at Kindle US/UK respectively, as Kindle Countdown Deals good for more than 5 more days. Links are below for both the US and UK. The UK link includes one additional title, Sauce for the Pigeon, that isn't on Countdown in the US (at least for now). The UK link also includes three first-in-series Hammond titles that are pretty much permanently at $0.99/£0.99 pricing, but aren't pulled by the US link for some reason.

Many of these books do occasionally go free, briefly, from time to time, but with so many of them, the chances of any one going free at a given time are limited. So up to you if you want to wait...

The third title in this series, Alibi for a Corpse, is now a Countdown Deal at $0.99/£0.99 for about 5 more days.

Kindle US: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B07HVSRQZ6
Kindle UK:https://smile.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07HVSRQZ6

The first title in the series looks to be semi-permanently at $0.99/£0.99, with only brief blips away from that price point, so if you want to try the series, you can start with the first. The links below are still good. Sadly, the second has gone back up in price, but it's still not too bad...

Freading’s got the Rabbi Small mysteries if you’ve got access to a library with Freading.

[sufue]

And, since Rabbi Small titles are e-pubbed by Open Road, they also go on sale in the US like every ten minutes. Sorry, exaggerating, maybe not every ten minutes, but like every ten days. Not exaggerating .

So if you don't have Freading or another library that has them, just put Harry Kemelman as an author watch in eReaderIQ and you'll get (lots of) notifications when they do go on sale. Or just check at your favorite US retailer every so often. Also, if you're format indifferent, Open Road books are coupon/VIPable at Kobo US.

The first title in this series, Dead Game, is free right now at Kindle US and UK.

Canary by Duane Swierczynski is $1.99

https://smile.amazon.com/Canary-Duan...1329733&sr=8-1

It's dangerous enough when an ordinary college girl turns confidential informant. Even more dangerous when she's smarter than the killer, kingpins, and cops who think they control her.

Honors student Sarie Holland is busted by the local police while doing a favor for her boyfriend. Unwilling to betray him but desperate to avoid destroying her future, Sarie has no choice but to become a "CI" -- a confidential informant.

Philly narcotics cop Ben Wildey is hungry for a career-making bust. The detective thinks he's found the key in Sarie: her boyfriend scores from a mid-level dealer with alleged ties to the major drug gangs.

Sarie turns out to be the perfect CI: a quick study with a shockingly keen understanding of the criminal mind. But Wildey, desperate for results, pushes too hard and inadvertently sends the nineteen-year-old into a death trap, leaving Sarie hunted by crooked cops and killers alike with nothing to save her -- except what she's learned during her harrowing weeks as an informant.

Which is bad news for the police and the underworld. Because when it comes to payback, CI #1373 turns out to be a very quick study...

Gun Machine by Warren Ellis is $2.99 at Amazon US.

After a shootout claims the life of his partner in a condemned tenement building on Pearl Street, Detective John Tallow unwittingly stumbles across an apartment stacked high with guns. When examined, each weapon leads to a different, previously unsolved murder. Someone has been killing people for twenty years or more and storing the weapons together for some inexplicable purpose.

Confronted with the sudden emergence of hundreds of unsolved homicides, Tallow soon discovers that he's walked into a veritable deal with the devil. An unholy bargain that has made possible the rise of some of Manhattan's most prominent captains of industry. A hunter who performs his deadly acts as a sacrifice to the old gods of Manhattan, who may, quite simply, be the most prolific murderer in New York City's history.

The two books in the Jad Bell series by Greg Rucka are $1.99 each.

Hey, that sounds pretty good!

Another Duane Swierczynski book, Revolver, is also $1.99.

Three generations torn apart -- by bullets fired fifty years ago.

Philadelphia, 1965: Two street cops -- one black, one white -- are gunned down in a corner bar. One of the fallen officers, Stan Walczak, leaves behind a 12-year-old boy, Jimmy.

Philadelphia, 1995: Homicide detective Jim Walczak learns that his father's alleged killer, Terrill Lee Stanton, has been sprung from prison. Jim stalks the ex-con, hoping to finally learn the truth.

Philadelphia, 2015: Jim's daughter Audrey, a forensic science student, re-opens her grandfather's murder for a research paper. But as Audrey digs deeper, she comes to realize that Stanton probably didn't pull the trigger -- and her father may have made a horrible mistake...

Adrenaline (Enhanced Edition) (The Sam Capra series Book 1) Kindle Edition with Audio/Video by Jeff Abbott is $1.99. WARNING: Only works on certain devices.

https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/...oreType=ebooks

Sam Capra is living the life of his dreams. He's a brilliant young CIA agent. His wife Lucy is seven months pregnant with their first child. They have a wonderful home, and are deeply in love. They have everything they could hope for...until they lose it all in one horrifying moment.

Sam receives a call from Lucy while he's at work. She tells him to leave the building immediately. He does...just before it explodes, killing everyone inside. Lucy vanishes, and Sam wakes up in a prison cell. As the lone survivor of the attack, he is branded by the CIA as a murderer and a traitor.

Escaping from the agency, Sam launches into a desperate hunt to save his kidnapped wife and child, and to reveal the unknown enemy who has set him up and stolen his family. But the destruction of Sam's life was only step one in an extraordinary plot--and now Sam must become a new kind of hero.
