Free Today on Amazon UK - The Death Pictures (The TV Detective Series) by Simon Wood
'A dying artist creates a series of ten paintings – The Death Pictures – which contain a mysterious riddle, leading the way to a unique and highly valuable prize. Thousands attempt to solve it. But before the answer can be revealed, the painter is murdered. A serial rapist is working through a series of attacks. He isn’t shy to make clear his hatred of women, and taunting of the police. He leaves his calling card, a witch’s hat at the houses he breaks into, each numbered from a pack of six. The detectives face baffling questions. Why kill the artist when he would die naturally in just a few weeks time? What to make of the attempted break in at his house just before his death? Could it be connected with the rapes, all of which have been carried out in the area around his home? The media interest in the cases is intense, and Detective Chief Inspector Adam Breen again turns to his friend, TV Crime reporter Dan Groves to help him handle it. Dan does – at the price of some great scoops, and an involvement in the case that eventually leads him to effectively talk to the rapist, using the stories he broadcasts to lure him into a trap, and finally, discover the extraordinary solution to the riddle.

St. Albans Fire by Archer Mayor is a Kindle US Countdown deal. It's $1.99 for about 3 more hours (sorry, sorry, just spotted it now, at about 7 am, US Pacific time, on July 12) and then $2.99 for an unknown period of time. It shows a digital list price of $3.99, so even the $2.99 is a bit of a bargain.
This is number 16 (if I counted right on the Stop You're Killing Me website) in the Joe Gunther series. Quote:

There are currently three of Ed McBain's "87th Precinct" books on 99p special offer at Amazon UK: "Cop Hater", "Give the Boys a Great Big Hand", and "Long Time, No See". It's the monthly deal, so they should stay at that price for the rest of the month.
McBain was the master of the police procedural. "Cop Hater" may be of particular interest, because it's the first book in the series, and an ideal way to see if McBain appeals to you. |

I must point this one out although it is breaking the rules of the thread. It is self-published and I have not yet read it. Here is the link to my post last month when the first in the series, which I had read, was offered for free: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sho...ll#post2848975
Others also like Mr. Faricy's self-published contributions to the madcap romp mystery genre. Quote:

I think the fact that you've read and enjoyed the first book in the series is a sufficient reason to be able to recommend the second. All we ask is that you have some more or less legitimate reason for doing so

Thanks, Harry. Now I feel free to post any Mike Faricy freebie offered. Not literature, but more competently written fun than many traditionally published mysteries I've read.
Repeat freebie today: City of Beads (Tubby Dubonnet #2) by Tony Dunbar . First published by Berkley in 1996. AU: http://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B007Z5HC7W CA: http://www.amazon.ca/dp/B007Z5HC7W UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B007Z5HC7W US: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007Z5HC7W Quote:
