That was before she found the body of a woman with whom she had traded heated words the previous night, left her fingerprints on the murder weapon, and came under attack for trying to clear her name. When her cheating ex-fiance shows up, intent on convincing her to come back to work for him, Tess — armed with an extra batch of éclairs — decides to take control and solve the mystery herself, with the help of friends and frenemies alike.

But will that be enough to save her when she gets too close and the killer decides it's safer to get her out of the way?

After an injury forced her to leave the police department, Abigail Mackenzie started a second career as a farmer. Raising chickens, harvesting honey from her bee colony, and growing heirloom vegetables on her farmette in the beautiful Bay Area town of Las Flores, Abby has embraced all the benefits of a peaceful life.

But as she closes in on the truth, she'll need more than her beekeeper suit to protect her from a killer's sting …

Flesh and Blood by Patricia Cornwell

A Kay Scarpetta Mystery (22nd in series)

Publisher: William Morrow

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

It's Dr. Kay Scarpetta's birthday, and she's about to head to Miami for a vacation with Benton Wesley, her FBI profiler husband, when she notices seven pennies on a wall behind their Cambridge house. Is this a kids' game? If so, why are all of the coins dated 1981 and so shiny they could be newly minted? Her cellphone rings, and Detective Pete Marino tells her there's been a homicide five minutes away. A high school music teacher has been shot with uncanny precision as he unloaded groceries from his car. No one has heard or seen a thing.

The master forensic sleuth soon finds herself in the unsettling pursuit of a serial sniper who leaves no incriminating evidence except fragments of copper. The shots seem impossible, yet they are so perfect they cause instant death. The victims appear to have had nothing in common, and there is no pattern to indicate where the killer will strike next. First New Jersey, then Massachusetts, and then the murky depths off the coast of South Florida, where Scarpetta investigates a shipwreck, looking for answers that only she can discover and analyze. And it is there that she comes face to face with shocking evidence that implicates her techno genius niece, Lucy, Scarpetta's own flesh and blood.

Price: $2.99 (as of 09/26/2015 at 6:30 PM ET).

  

This is a new ebook edition of a mystery first published in hardcover by Dutton in 1981.

When it comes to Chicago politics, Jimmy Flannery knows where the bodies are buried. Sleuthing has definitely become part of Flannery's job, and he does it with the same tough-nosed, hard-fisted elan that he exhibits in his battles with machine-made bureaucrats down at City Hall. Now, someone is thinning the "turkey herd" — that's modeling talk for the hundreds of pretty girls who come to Chicago every year looking to be "discovered." Most end up quitting or going back home. But this year it looks as if somebody's thinning the herd the hard way — -by KILLING the prettiest young women in Chicago. This is more than enough to get Jimmy Flannery's attention.

After one drop-dead gorgeous blond is suddenly missing, Flannery starts walking Chicago's meanest streets to find her. Tragically, all he finds is her body. When a powerful political bigwig turns up with a very unlawful motive for homicide, Flannery figures it won't be long before some innocent schnook is railroaded on a charge of murder one …

When she's instructed to repossess a 42-inch Sony television from an elderly couple, Dana intends to put her own twist on the assignment. But upon arriving at their run down house in a gang infested neighborhood, she's horrified to find sweet old Mr. Sullivan murdered.

The homicide detective investigating the case is Nick Travis, Dana's high school crush. Sparks ignite, but a dark secret threatens to keep them apart — unless Nick comes clean about the past.

Dana agrees to help Mr. Sullivan's grieving family locate his grandson, a guy with a surprising new lifestyle who's been missing since the day of the murder. Her good intentions put her in the thick of the murder investigation and on a collision course with the killer.
