Free download of 1st book in David Hewson's 'Dante's Numbers' detective series
According to Sara Lloyd, at thedigitalist.net:
"Just as we are poised to publish the the seventh novel in David Hewson’s beguilingly atmospheric and addictive Rome series, Dante’s Numbers, David has shrewdly agreed to an experiment to give away the first of his novels featuring the popular detective, Nic Costa, as an unDRM’d ebook. You can download the ebook from Scribd " Apparently it'll only be up until October 15th this year. I've never done more than glance at the Scribd site, and I haven't tried downloading the book yet, but it sounds interesting at the very least. Last edited by garygibsonsf; 09-17-2008 at 07:20 AM. |

I downloaded this as a PDF file. One must create a login account, supply email address and create a password.
They say they honor their memebers' privacy. I'll give it a read later on. Thank you. Don |

I've just asked if it's possible to get this eBook in a format other then PDF that keeps the formatting. We'll see what happens.

The PDF seems complete. But one of the first paragraphs states:

The PDF is 389 pages long and appears to be the complete novel. The TXT file is unreadable and, in my opinion, would be an embarrassment to Dell or Random House executives. Don |
