In Their Blood: A Novel by Sharon Potts is a standalone suspense thriller of the possibly conspiracy sort where one finds out Things Are Not As They Seem in the wake of a murder, free courtesy of publisher Oceanview. The Publisher's Weekly review says the plot owes a lot to "shifty accounting".

Free @ Amazon (available to Canadians but not in the UK). Unlikely to show up elsewhere, as Oceanview freebies have previously been Kindle-only.
