Here's #9 : Akel Dama (Book 9 of the Jay Leicester Mysteries Series) free now.

Product Description
"Akel Dama means "Field of Blood"

An aged ex-airliner loaded with five tons of marijuana lands on a newly built, but unpaved, section of roadbed in rural central Mississippi. Apprehended by the local sheriff, the pilot refused to shut down the idling engines. A call to Jay Leicester, Aviation Consultant, for help, the sheriff brings our protagonist into a situation that ends with his involvement with the CIA, terrorists who plan to set off a nuclear device in the United States and the deaths of his closest friends.

A work of international intrigue with connections to the Middle East, to South America, to south Florida, and rural Mississippi, this is a powerful story of determined men and women exposed to horror beyond their control. Akel Dama is above all a novel about decency, good and evil, about courage we build inside ourselves to govern our behavior and how that courage is eroded - one of the strongest novels yet from one of the South's most admired and prolific writers.

"Now this man purchased a field with the wages of iniquity; and falling headlong, he burst open in the middle and all his entrails gushed out. And it became known to all those dwelling in Jerusalem; so that field is called in their own language, Akel Dama, that is, Field of Blood."

#6 - Yay!

Popping the Shine (Book 6 of the Jay Leicester Mysteries Series) free today.

Product Description

New Orleans settings, gangland murder, police corruption, and international drug operations are the backdrop for J.C. Simmons' sixth serial mystery. Simmons' famed Aviation Consultant/Investigator, Jay Leicester, is drawn into a worldwide drug manufacturing operation when an old family friend's grandson is brutally murdered and nailed to a French Quarter street in New Orleans, Louisiana. What begins as a simple visit to pay respects at a funeral brings Leicester face to face with gruesome killings and evil people driven by power and money.

This is not about famed New Orleans Queen Marie Leveau, or Voodoo, or gris-gris, or 'Wangas,' but the evil that lies within the hearts of man, an evil so vile that killing an infant means nothing. This is an intense and fast-paced thriller that is plot driven, character oriented, and a must read for any Mystery/Thriller aficionado.
