Spoiler:

A traveling peddler searches for two missing brothers in medieval England in this colorful historical mystery.

"Roger the Chapman, an itinerant peddler of uncommon insight and intelligence, returns to solve another spine-tingling medieval mystery cloaked in greed, treachery, and suspense. . . . An evocative and authentically detailed historical whodunit." —Booklist

Roger the traveling chapman should be on his way home to medieval Bristol after a nice summer's peddling. But a request from his duke to escort a bride en route to her betrothed takes him toward Wells, where the groom and his brother have vanished.

Roger links the disappearances to the discovery of ancient scrolls written in a strange language. But as he deciphers the archaic tongue, he concludes that a still-greater mystery lies at the heart of the brothers' disappearance, in The Brothers of Glastonbury by Kate Sedley.

"Those who have enjoyed the sleuthing of Sedley's 15th-century peddler Roger the Chapman know what a feast of storytelling, historical detail and clever crime solving awaits. Those who haven't should give the series a try. . . . Using local legends and myths as a foundation, Sedley portrays late medieval England with remarkable clarity and vividness." —Publishers Weekly

Many years on, The Judas Judge is $1.99 again in the US. It seems to drop to $4.99 a lot, but very rarely to $1.99, so grab it if you want it!

This series rarely goes on sale, and titles are mostly ridiculously priced for old backlist at $7.99 and up, with several over $10, so it's nice that Judge has dropped to $1.99 at Kindle and Kobo US.

Blind Fall by Christopher Rice is $2 at Amazon and Kobo

From New York Times bestselling author Christopher Rice, a novel about an Iraq war vet seeking redemption and revenge when a fellow Marine is brutally murdered.

John Houck became a Marine to become a hero. But his life changed when he failed to notice an explosive device that ended up maiming his captain, a respected military man who nearly sacrificed himself to save John’s life. Home from Iraq, John pays a visit to his former captain, only to discover the captain has been gruesomely murdered. John pursues a strange man he sees running from the scene, but he discovers that Alex Martin is not the murderer. Alex is, in fact, the former captain’s secret male lover and the killer’s intended next victim.

A gripping story of honor and integrity, of turning failure into victory, Blind Fall is the story of two men who must unite to avenge the death of the man they both loved—one as a brother-in-arms, one as a lover—and to survive.
