Today’s latest addition to our Free Book Alerts traces history from Attila the Hun through the worst epidemics of the 20th and 21st centuries, with astonishing results….
That’s what is going on with author Paul Levine’s 20th anniversary re-issue of his Jake Lassiter series in ebook form, and TO SPEAK FOR THE DEAD (The Jake Lassiter Series), the first novel in the series, has already proven a huge hit with the citizens of Kindle Nation. Now he’s brought back the second book in the popular, award-winning series, NIGHT VISION (The Jake Lassiter Series), at the same great price of $2.99. By way of fair warning, there’s nothing politically correct about Lassiter’s salty, hard-boiled narration in either book, and isn’t that a relief?
Personally, I’m looking forward to the Kindle release of the entire series, but you don’t have to take my word for it. Levine has generously offered us a free sampling of the prologue and first seven chapter chapters of Night Visionin this weekend’s Free Kindle Nation Short excerpt here, so you can see for yourself what made Lassiter such a hit the first time around, and what is winning new readers and fans for his creator Paul Levine on the second go-round.

Mourn The Living
by Henry Perez
From Publishers Weekly: Veteran Chicago Record reporter Alex Chapa is looking forward to a much needed vacation and time with his 10-year-old daughter, Nikki, whom he barely sees now that his ex has moved to Boston. Then his boss calls him back to cover for Jim Chakowski, killed in a mysterious explosion. As Alex digs into Chakowski’s notes linking a string of murders to prominent city council members, he and Nikki come under fire. Short, choppy chapters move the action along at a measured clip, and detailed descriptions infuse the text with atmosphere and suspense, especially during flashbacks to Alex’s childhood in Cuba and the murderer’s dark and traumatic upbringing. The killer’s identity is no surprise, but the final showdown keeps the adrenaline pumping right through the ending, which Perez (Killing Red) leaves wide open for possible sequels.
