The first novel in Pulitzer Prize-winning Edna Buchanan’s riveting Britt Montero series.

Meet Britt Montero, a crime reporter for a major Miami newspaper. She practically sleeps with a police scanner by her bedside. She’s smart—and reckless—enough to pursue a story no matter where it takes her.

When a high-speed police chase leads to the death of a black football hero, Britt discovers that what seems like a cut-and-dry case is actually an intricate web of racially charged violence. As the city she loves explodes into a major riot, Britt is caught-up in life-threatening events that bring the case to its shocking twist.

Seems to be free in the UK, too.

It might be worth mentioning that the Pulitzer was for journalism, not for fiction, though, since they seem to have missed that bit out in the book description.

Free today on Amazon UK - Seven Cities of Greed by jean Sheldon

When Jacqueline Tracey purchases a hand carved leather journal at a Chicago book auction, it promises an adventure in New Mexico for her and her friends. Instead, they are chased by a modern day Conquistador who will stop at nothing to have the book and the secrets it holds. The journal describes an expedition in 1539 led by Franciscan Friar, Marcos De Niza on a search for the mythical Seven Cities of Gold. The author, Pedro, accompanies the Spaniards disguised as a priest, but his writings suggest he was far from a holy man. As the middle age adventure-seekers follow ancient clues and maps to the Land of Enchantment, Samuel Barnes uses his wealth and influence to track them. Are they ready for a show down with the man who believes he is the Emperor of Cibola?
