— A Kiss Before Dying by Ira Levin

An Honorable Man by Paul Vidich

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: Atria

Kindle Daily Deal Price: $1.99

Washington D.C., 1953. The Cold War is heating up: McCarthyism, with all its fear and demagoguery, is raging in the nation's capital, and Joseph Stalin's death has left a dangerous power vacuum in the Soviet Union.

The CIA, meanwhile, is reeling from a double agent within their midst. Someone is selling secrets to the Soviets, compromising missions around the globe. Undercover agents have been assassinated, and anti-Communist plots are being cut short in ruthlessly efficient fashion. The CIA director knows any news of the traitor, whose code name is Protocol, would be a national embarrassment and compromise the entire agency.

George Mueller seems to be the perfect man to help find the mole: Yale-educated; extensive experience running missions in Eastern Europe; an operative so dedicated to his job that it left his marriage in tatters. The Director trusts him. Mueller, though, has secrets of his own, and as he digs deeper into the case, making contact with a Soviet agent, suspicion begins to fall on him as well. Until Protocol is found, no one can be trusted, and everyone is at risk.

— An Honorable Man by Paul Vidich

The Last Girl by Joe Hart

The Dominion Trilogy (1st in series)

Publisher: Brilliance Audio

Audible Daily Deal Price: $3.95

A mysterious worldwide epidemic reduces the birthrate of female infants from 50 percent to less than one percent. Medical science and governments around the world scramble in an effort to solve the problem, but 25 years later there is no cure, and an entire generation grows up with a population of fewer than 1000 women.

Zoey and some of the surviving young women are housed in a scientific research compound dedicated to determining the cause. For two decades, she's been isolated from her family, treated as a test subject, and locked away — told only that the virus has wiped out the rest of the world's population.

Captivity is the only life Zoey has ever known, and escaping her heavily armed captors is no easy task, but she's determined to leave before she is subjected to the next round of tests … a program that no other woman has ever returned from. Even if she's successful, Zoey has no idea what she'll encounter in the strange new world beyond the facility's walls. Winning her freedom will take brutality she never imagined she possessed, as well as all her strength and cunning — but Zoey is ready for war.

Today, we're pleased to present the following title, now available at a special price courtesy of the publisher, W. W. Norton …

The Scribe by Matthew Guinn

A Novel of Suspense

Publisher: W. W. Norton

Price: $1.99 (as of 12/02/2016 at 8:00 PM ET).

  

After leaving Atlanta in disgrace three years before, detective Thomas Canby is called back to the city on the eve of Atlanta's 1881 International Cotton Exposition to partner with Atlanta's first African American police officer, Cyrus Underwood. The case they're assigned is chilling: a serial murderer who seems to be violently targeting Atlanta's wealthiest black entrepreneurs. The killer's method is both strange and unusually gruesome. On each victim's mutilated body is inscribed a letter of the alphabet, beginning with "M." The oligarchy of Atlanta's most prominent white businessmen — the same men who ran Canby out of town, known more openly before Reconstruction as "the Ring" — is anxious to solve the murders before they lose the money they've invested in both the exposition and the city's industrialization, even if resolution comes at the expense of justice.

After Canby's arrival the murders become increasingly disturbing and unpredictable, and his interference threatens to send the investigation spinning off in the wrong direction. As the toll of innocent victims rises, Canby must face down enduring racism, and his own prejudices, to see clearly the source of these bloody crimes. Meanwhile, if he can restore his reputation, he might win back the woman he loves.

It's 9:00 A.M. in an unnamed Midwestern city. Bank Arbaugh and Mack Steiner have just come off a typical night shift — patrolling the city, scaring off prostitutes, shaking up the usual suspects. Sitting in Denny's, waiting for bacon and eggs, they get a call over the radio: A teenage girl is missing. With a glance, the two cops — best friends since childhood, as close as brothers — know their lives have shifted off balance, because seven years before, Bank's own daughter went missing and has not been found to this day.

Two parallel stories: two girls from opposite sides of town, seven years separating them. As evidence mounts, one case begins to illuminate the other, until finally, the inevitable conclusion is revealed.

With the breakup of her marriage, Sophia Reynolds' mind isn't completely on her job. Maybe that's why she didn't listen to her husband's previous warnings. Showing a house after dark shouldn't have been dangerous, but she's viciously attacked, becoming a target for a sadistic serial killer.

She escapes him barely alive, and when her estranged husband, Detective Levi Reynolds, sees the damage that's been inflicted, vengeance becomes his best friend. He's willing to do whatever he has to do to track down Stefan Greenwald, the man who almost took his wife's life.

As the evidence unfolds, it becomes clear Greenwald isn't working alone, and the fight to save Sophia's life gets harder by the minute. Levi may have to lay aside his badge to protect his wife the only way he knows how.
