The Odyssey Press (Endeavour imprint) free
At Dusk All Cats are Grey by Jerrard Tickell Twenty-two-year-old Joanna Shirley is the only daughter and child of Lady and Sir Robert Shirley and has a great affinity for languages and accents. In fact, while skiing once in Austria, her German was so good that she was arrested by the Gestapo on suspicion of being a spy... But what once seemed a funny story, is now made very much more alarming with rumours that Hitler is edging his way to the Polish border and, feeling that now she must earn her own keep, Joanna moves to London. She soon gets a job at an advertisement firm, which, like London as a whole, is full of strange characters. Joanna soon makes a particular impression on a certain Colonel Seymour – especially with her proficiency in French and German. The colonel wants to know if she’s interested in something a little more profitable and discreet than a receptionist. All she has to do is report back about a group of Austrian refugees… But a sinister darkness is creeping over Europe, and Joanna finds herself unable to recognise the world she once knew so well… First published 1940 by Chapman & Hall Jerrard Tickell's books, a number of which have been made into successful movies, include Moon Squadron, Appointment with Venus aka Island Rescue and Hussar Honeymoon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWYC5JV/ https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XWYC5JV/ https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B06XWYC5JV/ |

Ditto the Thanks, Mort -- and I love your posting format. You go to a lot of work to get 4 links for us, but it makes it so easy for me to go look at the book. Thank you!!!

Bargain @ $2.99 from HarperCollins' William Morrow imprint in Canada and presumably also the US (linkage goes to Kobo, should be matched at all the usual stores):
The Darkest Hour by British author Tony Schumacher (ISFDB, Wikipedia), 1st in a series of mystery/suspense/espionage thrillers set in an alternate history where the Nazis were successful in their invasion of Britain, and as of 1946 a British detective has to work with the SS, similar to Len Deighton's excellent and recommended SS-GB, which is also incidentally still on sale for $1.99 as part of Kobo's Killer Crime Club promotion on mystery/thrillers mostly from the Big 5 publishers at $4.99 or under, which incidentally ends today (so perhaps the prices will be going up shortly afterwards). I really liked SS-GB, so while this is a little pricier than I normally like to spend on a totally unknown-to-me newbie author who's not already wishlisted to try (and not from a small specialty press where I'm willing to go a bit higher to support their endeavours) and doesn't have any award noms or previously-established rep, it's down from $12 CAD and Wikipedia says the series (now up to book #3) was generally well-received. So hopefully it works out, and will be interesting to compare to other such WWII alternate history mystery/thrillers such as Robert Harris' Fatherland and Jo Walton's Small Change trilogy. ![]() A crackling, highly imaginative thriller debut in the vein of W.E.B. Griffin and Philip Kerr, set in German-occupied London at the close of World War II, in which a hardened British detective jeopardizes his own life to save an innocent soul and achieve the impossible—redemption. London, 1946. The Nazis have conquered the British, and now occupy Great Britain, using brutality and fear to control its citizens. John Henry Rossett, a decorated British war hero and former police sergeant, has been reassigned to the Office of Jewish Affairs. He now answers to the SS, one of the most powerful and terrifying organizations in the Third Reich. Rossett is a man accustomed to obeying commands, but he’s now assigned a job he did not ask for—and cannot refuse: rounding up Jews for deportation, including men and women he’s known his whole life. But they are not the only victims, for the war took Rossett’s wife and son, and shattered his own humanity. Then he finds Jacob, a young Jewish child, hiding in an abandoned building, who touches something in Rossett that he thought was long dead. Determined to save the innocent boy, Rossett takes him on the run, with the Nazis in pursuit. But they are not the only hunters following his trail. The Royalist Resistance and the Communists want him, too. Each faction has its own agenda, and Rossett will soon learn that none of them can be trusted . . . and all of them are deadly.

X-link to the Kobo discounts thread which has a couple of weekend sales in Canada with a generous selection of mystery/thrillers, with some prices matched elsewhere, and others not.
Also, bargains @ £0.99-£2.99 in the UK from Hachette's acquisition Little, Brown, and Company's Sphere imprint (not couponable, and IIRC most of these authors are out from different publishers overseas):
