Since it was published in 1952, its copyright must not have been renewed.

John Irving's A Son of the Circus is $2.99 at Amazon.

A Hindi film star... an American missionary... twins separated at birth... a dwarf chauffeur... a serial killer... all are on a collision course. In the tradition of A Prayer for Owen Meany, Irving's characters transcend nationality. They are misfits--coming from everywhere, belonging nowhere. Set almost entirely in India, this is John Irving's most ambitious novel and a major publishing event.

Harm's Way by James Bassett - $.99

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B078WC6PJP

I always liked the movie In Harm's Way directed by Otto Preminger and starring John Wayne, Kirk Douglas and Patricia O Neal, so I thought I'd give this a shot.

A Spark of Justice by J.D. Hawkins is going for $2.70. Excellent circus mystery with action and laughs. Behind the scenes look at the circus is gold.

Endeavour, free, The Odyssey Press imprint

Shelter by Marguerite Steen

September 1940, London.

Louise is buried underground, metres below the city.

Contained by the corrugated iron of an Anderson shelter, she feels stifled rather than safe.

Stuck with her inside the construction is her husband Jos, who despite attending Oxford and volunteering for the Auxiliary Fire Service, the A.F.S., her friends still dislike.

As if the air wasn’t tense enough with Hitler’s presence made known by incessant bombs, Louise has her fears confirmed; Jos has a mistress.

The story of a three-cornered romance in war-torn London during World War Two.

First published in 1942 by Sun Dial Press

Sigh. Anderson shelters were only partially underground, partially above ground with dirt heaped on top. And since the author of a certainty knew that, it's another instance where the blurber has no clue at all.

Only available for people in, or visiting, countries with a life+50 copyright term.
