Two brand new, full-length 5-star free books that are well worth highlighting in the Kindle Store this morning….
But first … a word from Today’s Sponsor
By Paul Levine
Twenty years ago when Bantam began publishing Paul Levine’s award-winning series of psychological courtroom thrillers starring Jake Lassiter as a former Miami Dolphins linebacker turned hard-boiled lawyer, readers had to wait a year or two for each new title.
Now, thanks to the Kindle revolution, thousands of readers are discovering Jake for the first time and we only have to wait a month or so for each new title to appear. And our Free Kindle Nation Shorts feature provides an excellent way to introduce or reunite readers with each new Lassiter episode, whether Jake is an old friend or a new acquaintance.
To Speak for the Dead and Night Vision, the first two novels in the series, have already proven to be huge hits with the citizens of Kindle Nation. This morning it’s a pleasure to introduce an inviting free excerpt from False Dawn, the third Jake Lassiter thriller, which is now available in the Kindle Store at a $3.99 price point that’s actually lower than the price of these international bestsellers when they went to mass market in the 90s after their original hardcover release.
Here’s the set-up:
Miami lawyer Jake Lassiter has plenty of clients who lie, but usually they deny their guilt. When Francisco Crespo admits killing a fellow warehouse worker with a forklift – speared like an olive on a toothpick – Jake is suspicious and won’t take “guilty” for an answer.
Determined to find the truth, Jake follows a trail of priceless Fabergé eggs to an international theft ring involving the CIA, Fidel Castro, and the Russian government. Through twisted revelations, deadly double crosses, and bizarre murders, Jake heads to Havana where he discovers that nothing is as it seems.
“Realistic, gritty, fun.” – New York Times Book Review
“A highly entertaining yarn filled with wry humor.” – Detroit Free Press
“Mystery writing at its very, very best.” – Larry King, USA TODAY

From Dust and Ashes: A Story of Liberation
by Tricia Goyer
by Tricia Goyer 4.9 out of 5 stars (20 customer reviews)
Nazis flee under cover of darkness as American troops near the town of St. Georgen. A terrible surprise awaits the unsuspecting GIs. And three people—the wife of an SS guard, an American soldier, and a concentration camp survivor—will never be the same. Inspired by actual events surrounding the liberation of a Nazi concentration camp, From Dust and Ashes shows the healing power of forgiveness.
shows the healing power of forgiveness. 
by Edward D. Hess and Charles F. Goetz
From Booklist: Two former corporate executives, entrepreneurs, and now professors Hess and Goetz combine their wisdom and experience to offer new and wannabe business owners some critical thinking, management strategies, and tried-and-tested pointers. Their book is written in a simple albeit very academic style, with logical headlines, practical sidebars, and summarized “lessons learned” at the end of each chapter. Although the authors are generous about sharing the ABC’s of business, whether it’s how to find and keep good employees or explanations of financial gotta-haves, the overall subtitle—8 Steps to Take—gets buried in a welter of other numbers: the 8 mistakes business owners make (e.g., pricing incorrectly), the 7 techniques to get a customer to try your product (references/testimonials), the rule of 3s and the rule of 7s (only manage 7 or fewer people at any given time). Use this as a novice’s springboard (and remind the authors to follow their own advice: keep it simple!). –Barbara Jacobs
