Free Today on Amazon UK - Lucky Man (The Tubby Dubonnet Series) by Tony Dunbar
'WHEN THE DA HIMSELF SETS YOU UP, YOU KNOW YOU'RE GOING DOWN… In Tony Dunbar’s books, New Orleans is The Big Sleazy squared. No one is safe, especially from their elected officials. Even if they are an elected official. So what if Judge Hughes shared a few special moments with Sultana Patel—why is this a matter of public interest? “The stench from that courthouse fills the city,” roars D.A. Marcus Dementhe. “Those hypocritical men and women who wear the robes are filthy with deception.” And Dementhe has a zany plan to snare them. Hughes, happily, has had the good sense to hire epicurean lawyer Tubby Dubonnet, whose laconic air is belied by his zeal to protect his clients. And what a web they’re ensnared in! But no matter how dire things get, Dunbar never loses his sense of humor: "I think he's going to shoot us once we're out in the Gulf," Tubby whispered to the girl. “His aura is green,” she agreed.'

Free Today on Amazon UK - Unsafe Convictions by Alison Taylor
'A priest. A psychopath. A prostitute. A policeman. Who would you accuse? When Trisha Stanton Smith's body is battered into oblivion and her house burnt down, the obvious suspect is her abusive ex-husband. Despite his claim of an alibi, Piers Stanton Smith goes to prison for life. When the alibi is unexpectedly confirmed, Superintendent Michael McKenna is charged with investigating whether members of Houghton police suppressed vital evidence in the case. Seconded with his team to the bleak Pennine landscape, he is hounded by a tabloid journalist, feared by the local police, and tormented by the powerful parish priest. Slowly McKenna unravels the lies and deceptions, finally uncovering the truth behind a cloak of shameful secrets, to discover the name of the real perpetrator. But the truth is more shocking than he could have ever imagined.'

Free Today on Amazon UK - The Shadow Run by Desmond Lowden
'In the sleepy Cathedral town of Whycliffe nothing much ever happens. Life at the private boys’ prep school that Joffrey attends seems equally uneventful - until one day on the street outside he sees blood running from the back of a white van. But eleven-year-old Joffrey has few friends. He is also a notorious liar, so his tormentors know better than to believe his tall tale. But what if he is right? Unknown to Joffrey, the criminal underworld is hatching a plot to steal money-printing paper on its way to the Bank of England, right in the middle of sleepy Whycliffe. It will be worth a fortune. The most hardened criminal of them all, Haskell, is determined that the plan succeed, no matter what the cost. And Joffrey is about to find himself dangerously on his own and caught up in the terrifying conspiracy... And he will need to grow up fast if he is to stay alive.'

20p on Amazon UK, 34 cents US- Chinese Whispers by Peter May
'The Beijing Ripper is at large, using the gruesome methods of his Victorian inspiration in a city as booming and squalid now as London was then. But when Dr Margaret Campbell performs an autopsy on one of his victims, the results send the investigative team reeling. The police, the media and a horrified public are baying for blood, and Campbell's partner, Detective Li Yan, is the detective responsible for delivering the killer to them. However, the Ripper knows exactly who's after him, and when he writes Li a personal letter, the case - and Li's life with Margaret - begin to drastically unravel. Only one thing is certain: to save himself and his family, Li must find out who the Ripper really is.'

Free Today on Amazon UK - Kyd for Hire by Timothy Harris
From the moment that the millionaire Joe Elevel enters the LA office of private detective Thomas Kyd, Kyd knows that this investigation will prove a little more challenging than the divorce cases from which he’s been making a living. Elevel’s high-society world has crumbled. His genteel, philanthropic wife is dead by suicide, and the note she left behind hints at a terrible crime. ‘Charlotte knows’ she states... But Charlotte – the Elevel’s daughter – has disappeared. The case proves to be far more than just a family affair, however. Three days later Kyd finds himself dealing with ‘one suicide, three murders, and a case that had about as much symmetry as a half-digested pizza…’ and searching the darkest corners of the city to find the answers. With both the bribe-taking Deputy Chief Granville and a professional hitman with no fingerprints working against him, solving the mystery proves a high-risk endeavour. Even for tough, straight-talking Kyd, downtown Los Angeles has never been hotter, dirtier or more dangerous.
