Scent of Evil by Archer Mayor is the third book in the Joe Gunther mystery series, and is one of the US Kindle Countdown Mystery deals. It's available for about 20 more hours - it is currently 3:30 pm on US west coast.

The countdown deals are often self-pubbed, but this is a backlist title, originally published in DTB in 1992.

Blurb is here:

When the body of a fast-living young stockbroker is found in a shallow grave, suspicion first falls on a cuckolded policeman. Lt. Joe Gunther investigates the increasingly bizarre details of the crime, but finds that he’s too far behind events to prevent a second murder. Indeed, whoever is responsible always seems to be a few steps ahead, as if there’s a leak on the force. Sweltering August heat does nothing to calm the increasingly agitated town selectmen, who demand results.

Fast-paced and intricately-plotted, with the unflinching attention to forensic detail that his readers have come to expect, Scent of Evil is the third of Archer Mayor’s critically-acclaimed Joe Gunther mysteries.

Thanks! I have the first two and liked them! Although Joe Gunther's Brattleboro seems a little more dire than the Brattleboro I know!

The Cold Cold Ground by Adrian McKinty is on sale today at Amazon US for $2.51. It's the first of his Detective Sean Duffy series set in Northern Ireland during the early 80's. I really liked this trilogy and recommend it highly. You can also get the WfV audiobook for $3.99

I like this series a lot too - looks like there's now going to be a fourth story, Gun Street Girl!

Kobo UK has 2 John Gardner books for 0.99p

The Nostradamus Traitor (Herbie Kruger 1)

Into the cauldron of war went the Nostradamus operation . . . out of it came an even deadlier threat than the Nazis: The Nostradamus Traitor

Britain’s psychological warfare executive knew all about the Nazi belief in the occult. They hatched up a top secret plot to drive a rift between Himmler’s SS and the Wehrmacht by infiltrating phony Nostradamus quatrains into Germany. Thirty years later then unbelievable truth began to trickle out: Herbie Kruger of British Intelligence was given the delicate task of keeping the past well and truly buried . . .

The Garden of Weapons (Herbie Kruger 2)

“In our world we live on lies.” When Big Herbie Kruger used those words to break the KGB defector, he didn’t realize just how much his own life had been built on a lie. In his world, though, where love is just another conduit for information, it could be no other way.

Now the lies planted when Herbie created his network in East Berlin have borne their bitter fruit. The lives of men and women who trusted him are in danger and his masters in British Intelligence won’t let him go back to Berlin to help them.

Herbie Kruger has no choice, then. He must tell what may be his final lie . . .

Interesting! All the "Brother Cadfael" ebooks disappeared from sale about a year ago, and now they've all reappeared again (released 2nd June).

[cromag]

Double interesting. Whether I follow the link or search manually, I only get German and Spanish translations -- no English.

[Lynx-lynx]

My links? Ohhh .... It should come up in Kobo UK and English language books.

Thanks! I read all the Brother Cadfaels in paperback years ago, but I've never read the prequel. And now I have it for free with that code! Excellent!

Those all have beautiful, matching covers [British eds.], in my opinion.

I'd like to own them just for that alone!

Well, if an unlimited 75% or better coupon comes along, I suspect I couldn't resist.
