Most of the books in G.M. Ford's Leo Waterman series are on sale for $2 each at Amazon US as part of their "20 Kindle Books for $2 Each" sale. The sale says it's good through 9/30/2014.
You can just go to the sale (http://www.amazon.com/gp/feature.htm...cId=1000858781) and pick them out, or you can search on "GM Ford", and then sort by price, and you'll see the ones which are available. Most of them have been on sale or free before, but if you missed one or two, or are new to this and haven't seen them on sale/free before, here are a bunch of them! The ones I see for $2 are: Who in Hell is Wanda Fuca? Cast in Stone The Bum's Rush Slow Burn Thicker than Water Chump Change Spoiler about the first book: Spoiler:

Free today on Amazon UK - Forests of the Night by David Stuart Davies
'1940. London is at war. When World War II breaks out, the young policeman John Hawke enlists in the army. His dreams of fighting for his country, however, are cut short after he loses an eye in rifle training. Invalided out of the army and offered a desk job with the police, John sets up as a private investigator in London instead, hoping for excitement and danger. In the autumn of 1940, John is hired to investigate the mysterious death of a young woman. What is the connection between her brutal murder and the fading film actor Gordon Moore? And is there a connection to the runaway boy who may have witnessed something terrible.'

Free today on Amazon UK - The Night She Died by Roger Ormerod
'Ten years on from closing the case, the name Connie Freeman means very little to Detective Inspector Richard Patton. But when Connie turns up on his doorstep, the memory comes flooding back. The memory of a brutal murder, of a woman bludgeoned to death. The victim, Sylvia Thomas, was the mistress of Connie’s husband, the womaniser Harry Martin. Connie knew of her husband’s infidelity and so Richard and his team assumed she possessed a motive - and they convicted Connie of murder. It was a case he would rather forget, but now Connie has returned - and she is determined to prove her innocence. The straightforward case of a wife seeking revenge on her husband’s mistress begins to unravel and Richard becomes more and more intrigued about what he had got wrong. Now he is determined to find out the truth about Sylvia and what happened on 'The Night She Died'.'

He blames someone called 'Jack', a mysterious figure from Tally's past. Simon's parents are so concerned about their son that they ask for help from their old friends Alec and Naomi. As Simon's precarious mental state deteriorates, they are drawn into a volatile situation more complex - and dangerous - than they could ever expect...

Free today on Amazon UK -No Easy Mission (Maddox Book 3) by Jack Hayes
'Maddox is weary and vengeful. He has resigned himself to retirement and no longer wants to fight in a war that has cost the lives of so many friends. He certainly isn’t happy when his former colleague, US Major George Lyle, pays him a visit at his home. But Lyle has a deal to offer. If Maddox joins him for two more missions, Lyle will leak five important names: the men who ordered Maddox’s previous team to their deaths. Despite his doubts, Maddox agrees. But the mission is one of his hardest yet. It is January 1945 and the chances of Germany winning the war are fading. A breakaway group of Nazi extremists have uncovered a 13th Century plague pit in Poland and built a biological-weapons facility on the site. Their plan is simple but deadly: release Pneumonic Plague – an airborne variant of the Black Death – through the Port of London. With a mortality rate of more than 99%, the Nazis estimate at least 12 million will die. To prevent the disease spreading, Britain will be forced to close her ports. Supplies to the Western Front will dry up. Germany will crush the Allies in France. Rather than destroy the monastery with an aerial bombardment and risk unleashing the plague, the Allies need men on the ground to infiltrate the compound and destroy it. Maddox and Lyle put together a small, specialist unit to go behind enemy lines. But the Germans have captured a member of the Polish Resistance who has knowledge of the attack. The Nazis know Maddox is on his way… ' UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/No-Easy-Miss...ndeavour+press US http://www.amazon.com/No-Easy-Missio...ndeavour+press Au http://www.amazon.com.au/No-Easy-Mis...ndeavour+press Can http://www.amazon.ca/No-Easy-Mission...ndeavour+press |

The description sounds more horror than thriller.
Ten by Gretchen McNeil is $1.99 [HarperCollins] at most retailers. https://play.google.com/store/books/...rtWo_mUC&hl=en Quote:

Medicus (also pub as Ruso and the Disappearing Dancing Girls) is the Kindle US Daily Deal today, Sept 4. It's on sale for $1.99. It's the first in the rather good mystery series featuring Gaius Petreius Ruso, a Roman army doctor, and his companion in solving crimes, Tilla. The series is mostly set in Roman Britain. Keep in mind that I'm a big historical mystery fan, so I'm biased towards these sorts of mysteries...but I've quite liked this series so far.
The second book in the series, Terra Incognita (also pub as Ruso and the Demented Doctor) is also on sale, for $1.99, as part of the US "200 Kindle books for $1.99 Each" sale, which I think is a monthly sale good through Sept 30. Medicus: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0013TX7NY/ Spoiler:

Thirding the recommendation for Ruth Downie's Medicus and sequels, if someone might be thinking of picking them up.
I really liked the 1st one after having read it when it had been a freebie several years ago, and went to the library for the next few. (ETA: Huh, apparently I bought #2 twice over when it was on sale for 99 cents in multiple stores. I must have really liked #1.) They're couponable @ Kobo as well, IIRC (though sometimes the Kobo search mistakenly marks things as couponable which aren't), and I think I might use up some of the deep-discount contest codes on them while they're still working. Last edited by ATDrake; 09-04-2014 at 07:45 PM. Reason: Well, one more to cross off the to-buy list. |
