The Closing (Whippoorwill Hollow Book 1) by Ken Oder $0.99

Amazon
Nook
Kobo
Apple
Google

2014 Foreword Reviews INDIEFAB Book of the Year Awards Finalist
The first Whippoorwill Hollow novel

May 5, 1968

Virginia State Penitentiary

When two men meet in a maximum security visitation room on May 5, 1968, they have only one thing in common: they both want their lives back. On one side of the window sits Kenneth Deatherage, sentenced to death for the brutal rape and murder of a young woman. On the other side is Nate Abbitt, a successful prosecutor until he drank his way through a midlife crisis.

Nate's only path to redemption is to represent Deatherage on appeal, but his investigation soon uncovers hints of corruption in the county justice system, and Nate finds himself accused of murder by the same forces that convicted his client. As Nate risks his life - and several others - in the fight to clear his name, he makes the nasty discovery that he and his client have much more in common than he'd like to admit.

˃˃˃ Intelligent, atmospheric, achingly romantic legal thriller

“Ken Oder debuts with an intelligent, atmospheric, and achingly romantic legal thriller. I loved this book, and I can’t wait for the next one.”

”" Pamela Fagan Hutchins, USA Best Book Award-winning author of Heaven to Betsy and the Katie and Annalise mysteries

˃˃˃ Intriguing legal thriller, strong historical fiction

“. . . an intriguing legal thriller that looks deeply at corruption in the jurisprudence system. The recovering alcoholic protagonist is a fascinating lead as he begins to regain his lost life when he accepts the harm he committed to innocent people, his wife, his mother, his mentor and himself. . . . the enjoyable storyline spins from a superb capital case to a more conventional David vs. Goliath thriller, fans will appreciate Ken Oder's strong historical fiction. "

- THE MYSTERY GAZETTE
˃˃˃ Timely and compelling

“Moments after meeting his client, death-row inmate Kenneth Deatherage, attorney Nate Abbitt explains: Cases are pending before the United States Supreme Court challenging the constitutionality of the death penalty. There's a nationwide moratorium on executions until the court rules. Ironically, just days after The Closing became available on Amazon, Oklahoma botched the execution of Clayton Lockett, who according to eye-witness accounts, tried to get up and speak after being given the supposedly lethal injection. Although this book is set in 1968 Virginia, the subject matter could hardly be more topical. . . . This is a great summer read. You won't be able to put it down. And whatever side of the issue you are on, The Closing should inform your view about capital punishment.”

- Marlene Munoz, Amazon reviewer

'Chepstow Castle, Gloucestershire.
A woman makes a gruesome discovery whilst out walking her dog. The body of a teenage girl has been washed up on the banks of the River Wye, after weeks spent decomposing in the water. But this is no suicide. Bruising to the throat and legs indicates that the girl, Alison Watts, was dead before she reached the water. For Superintendent Lambert and Sergeant Hook, an unsolved missing person’s case has just become a murder. As Lambert and Hook delve deeper into the murky depths of the local community, they uncover shocking secrets about Alison Watts. The local papers had portrayed her as the picture of innocence... But was Alison the bright and beautiful schoolgirl the local paper’s described? It seems it was not just the murderer who had something to hide... '

Free Today on Amazon UK - The Grievance by Scott Griffin

'Friday the 21st December. The last day of work before Christmas. Miles has outdone himself this time. Cocktails, sake, cocaine and a night with Lucy, his eighteen-year-old intern, was a new record even for him. Dim sum and high-definition orgies beckoned. But just as Miles starts putting on his coat, something in the corner of his eye catches his attention. Did the cursor on his screen just move of its own accord? Maybe IT are just doing maintenance. Miles should be so lucky. As a slideshow of photos start to play on his computer screen, it quickly becomes apparent that this is more than just an after hours office party joke. ‘If you think you can blackmail me you can think again. I’ve caught you in the act and I’m on my way to see you.'Whose fingers are typing on his screen? And how did they get access to these photos? Maybe Miles is about to receive his Christmas present early this year? '

Free Today on Amazon UK -The Silent Sleep of the Dying by Keith McCarthy

'Mark Hartmann, a consultant pathologist, has problems. Married to a barrister and the son-in-law of a judge, he should be enjoying a comfortable life, but his secret vice is gambling. Seriously mounting debts are starting to threaten his marriage… When he is asked to perform an autopsy on Millicent Sweet, a laboratory assistant, it seems a case much like any other. True, Sweet was only 22 when she died of cancer, but then even the young are not immune to that disease. His initial findings, however, are shocking. Before he can discuss this with his colleagues he is called away to a conference in Scotland, where, drunk and depressed, he ends up sleeping with one of the sales reps. Blackmailed by a pharmaceutical company that threatens to send a video of his indiscretion to his wife, he falsifies his report on Millicent Sweet’s death. But they are not the only people interested in Sweet… Her father, convinced his daughter’s death is the result of a laboratory accident, has contacted lawyer Helena Flemming. When Helena’s partner, John Eisenmenger, a former forensic pathologist, looks into the case, he soon uncovers the findings of Hartmann’s original autopsy and subsequent deception. Gradually Eisenmenger and Flemming begin to unearth the reasons for the pharmaceutical company’s ruthless determination to disguise the truth about Sweet's death. They uncover a conspiracy that involves a new and potentially devastating weapon; it is a conspiracy that ruthless men will do anything to keep hidden... Will the dynamic due be able to solve the medical crime in time? '

Kobo US has a buy 1/get 1 sale through Jan 11. In the "Thrilling Mysteries" section there are a lot of books by a couple of authors I like - Edna Buchanan (police procedurals set in Miami) and Candace Robb (historical). And the "base" prices are pretty reasonable to start with...mostly $2- $3.

Also books by Gary Grossman, Bradlee Frazer, Lynne Heitman, Grant Blackwood, Mia Thompson, Newton Thornburg, David Dodge (including To Catch a Thief, basis for the Hitchcock movie), and Kate Riordan.

Too many books to list individually, but sale link is here:
https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/li...V8ykRAjTCzur-g

Added note: There is also a Buchanan/Britt Montero omnibus that contains several of these titles - depending on whether you have some titles already, the omnibus might be a better deal, even not on sale: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/eb...mnibus-edition

Blood of Others by Rick Mofina is free for a limited time on
Amazon
Amazon.ca
Amazon.uk

Blood of Others received one of the world’s top literary prizes for crime fiction, the 2003 Arthur Ellis Award, given by the Crime Writers of Canada for Best Novel. In his praise of the book, James Patterson, the #1 Worldwide Bestselling Author, said Blood of Others, was: “Tense, realistic, and scary in all the right places."

The disappearance and murder of a lonely San Francisco insurance clerk puts a relentless crime reporter and legendary homicide cop on separate tracks in their pursuit of a killer.

The suspect lures solitary women out of their quiet worlds and into his nightmare as he races the clock and travels the globe searching for the one woman who will forgive the unforgivable.

In the course of a widening investigation, Olivia Grant, a shy gift store sales manager who aches to escape her painful solitude, meets Ben Wyatt, an outcast San Francisco cop on the case, Wyatt is a man gripped with self-doubt over the shooting of his former partner.

Blood of Others is a study of loneliness and human frailties; a story steeped in terrifying suspense that threatens to destroy the lives of those drawn into it as it rockets to a heart-pounding conclusion.
