MystereBooks: The Messenger of Athens by Anne Zouroudi

Every Saturday we publish an updated list of Kindle mysteries priced $2.99 or less. And we usually do a quick check mid-week as well, to see if any titles have received new discounts from the publisher … or to see what we may have missed from our previous check.

This is one of the latter situations. Indeed, it looks like this title — The Messenger of Athens, the first Hermes Diaktoros mystery by Anne Zouroudi — was discounted some time ago by the publisher to $2.99 and we quite simply missed it. So, rather than wait until Saturday, we thought we'd mention it today.

The author originally conceived "The Mysteries of the Greek Detective" as a series of seven novels, each based on one of the Deadly Sins. (Six have been published to date, though only the first three are available here in the US.) The Messenger of Athens, the first in the series, has at its core the sin of lust. Read more about the book, below, together with purchase options.

MystereBooks: Out-of-Print Crime Fiction, New in eBooks from Bloomsbury

Bloomsbury has lowered the price on a large number of long out-of-print crime fiction recently re-released as ebooks to just $1.99.

Authors represented include Jane Aiken Hodge, Nicholas Blake — the pen name used by Cecil Day-Lewis for his mystery novels, Edmund Crispin — the pseudonym under which Robert Bruce Montgomery wrote crime novels, Margery Allingham, H. R. F. Keating, and more.

Use this link to see just those Kindle ebooks classified by Amazon as "mystery". Use this more general link to see all "genre" books (as some are clearly crossover titles).

These are almost certainly temporary price reductions, so if any of these authors are of interest to you, we urge you to check out the selection of $1.99 titles soon!

Telemystery: Justified Season 4 Premieres January 8th, 2012

FX Networks announced today that the fourth season of Justified would premiere on Tuesday, January 8th, 2012 at 10 PM ET/PT.

Last season, Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens (Timothy Olyphant) faced off against dirty politics, hidden fortunes, a mysterious criminal ringleader named Limehouse, and Quarles, an ambitious gangster from the underbelly of Motor City. This season, Raylan will start to pick at the thread of a cold case over 30 years in the making, unraveling a riddle that echoes all the way back to his boyhood and his criminal father's bad dealings. Meanwhile, Boyd Crowder (Walton Goggins) finds his grip on Harlan loosening due to a Pentecostal preacher with a penchant for theatrics and a knack for manipulation to rival his own.

Justified is based on a character created by crime novelist Elmore Leonard.
