Who is the dead woman at the bottom of the stairs?

Strange things come to light when Gina and Becki are asked to sort through the dead woman's belongings. Just who was this woman? And why did frumpy Louisa have a closet full of vintage couturier clothes?

As the investigation continues, the danger increases. Arson reveals the hiding place of a fabulous sapphire necklace, which leads to more questions and ramps up the risk for Gina and Becki. A killer is determined to keep the identity of the dead woman a secret — even if it means killing again.

The Subtle Art of Brutality, A Richard Dean Buckner Mystery by Ryan Sayles, Now Available at a Special Price

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, Down & Out Books …

The Subtle Art of Brutality by Ryan Sayles

A Richard Dean Buckner Mystery (1st in series)

Publisher: Down & Out Books

Price: 99¢ (as of 12/01/2016 at 1:00 PM ET).

  

The girl has gone missing. Again. But this time people are trying to kill her. Trying to burn down everything she has touched or left behind. The girl's surrogate father feels responsible and to assuage his guilt, he hires Richard Dean Buckner, former Saint Ansgar homicide detective turned private eye to ferret her out.

Buckner was doing fine as a bare-knuckles detective for the PD until he was rendered "unserviceable" by a hit attempt. Early retirement doesn't sit well with that type of man, half predator and half savior.

He takes the case, and from two ex-boyfriends who ruined their lives for the girl, her rapist dad, drug dealers she burned for thousands, an uncomfortable meeting at the local Incest Survivors group to whoever is setting fire to her life, Buckner is going to need all his guts, instinct and .44 Magnum to finish the job.

Because in Saint Ansgar, what doesn't kill you only makes you wish it did.

The only thing that Aloha Lagoon Resort manager Charlotte Conner hates more than her employees working on "island time" is Christmas. It isn't just the over commercialized tripe, but it's also the fact that once-upon-a-time her Christmas would-be wedding went up in spectacular flames. Now she has to share the hated Hawaiian holiday with her twin sister (the one responsible for Charlotte's ruined vows), Alexander Cho (the one currently responsible for destroying Charlotte's peace of mind and libido), and the body of one very dead assistant. Aloha Lagoon's police department can't find anyone else with a better motive for killing Charlotte's assistant than Charlotte herself, so now it's up to her, Alex, and her irritatingly ever-present twin to hunt down the real murderer before Charlotte spends her Christmas in a jail cell for a Mele Kalikimurder she didn't commit.

This is one holly-jolly holiday that just might end up deadly!

Plagued by hot flashes, a thickening waistline, a mother addicted to the home shopping channel, and a sexy old flame who's come back to town, Lucille really has her hands full. And while she may not know much about solving crimes, this traditional churchgoer with very modern attitudes knows that with some prayers, some fast thinking, and some even faster talk she might just be able to nail the killer and restore order to her life.

Ellie and her boyfriend, Luke, try to find answers, but they don't realize how far they have ventured into the dangerous echelons of hidden power — where more lives are on the line―including their own.

When the first email arrives, Raymond thinks it's about money.

It's something far worse.

Someone out there thinks they can manipulateRaymond, use his brilliance, his ingenuity, and his killer instinct to win the Treasure Hunt.

But blackmail is one game Raymond knows how to play. He has a Mensa-rated I.Q., a cache of dirty tricks, and a cast-iron determination. All he has to do is follow the Treasure Hunt clues, reduce the competition, and find the one person who can stop him.

Because this time, it really isn't aboutthe money.

The Faithful Spy by Alex Berenson

A John Wells Thriller (1st in series)

Publisher: Random House

Price: $1.99 (as of 11/30/2016 at 4:00 PM ET).

  

John Wells is the only American CIA agent ever to penetrate al Qaeda. Since before the attacks in 2001, Wells has been hiding in the mountains of Pakistan, biding his time, building his cover.

Now, on the orders of Omar Khadri — the malicious mastermind plotting more al Qaeda strikes on America — Wells is coming home. Neither Khadri nor Jennifer Exley, Wells's superior at Langley, knows quite what to expect.

For Wells has changed during his years in the mountains. He has become a Muslim. He finds the United States decadent and shallow. Yet he hates al Qaeda and the way it uses Islam to justify its murderous assaults on innocents. He is a man alone, and the CIA — still reeling from its failure to predict 9/11 or find weapons of mass destruction in Iraq — does not know whether to trust him. Among his handlers at Langley, only Exley believes in him, and even she sometimes wonders. And so the agency freezes Wells out, preferring to rely on high-tech means for gathering intelligence.

But as that strategy fails and Khadri moves closer to unleashing the most devastating terrorist attack in history, Wells and Exley must somehow find a way to stop him, with or without the government's consent.
