Whether you feel like cooking up some romance or a recipe for mystery with a Turkish twist, we’ve got some fascinating free reading for you atop this morning’s latest additions to our 250+ Free Book Alert listings….
What happens when a local hero – a firefighter and paramedic – finds his personal world at the short end of a vicious crime? Chart Paul Kelly’s transformation from a good guy to a man descending into darkness, searching for an explanation of this evil….
“This is what horror wants to be when it grows up, a vision of tragic inevitability rooted in character, ruthless and inexorably unfolding, yet shot through with the possibility of grace.” –Peter Straub
Please note: The author and his publisher will be donating 25 percent of all proceeds to Parents of Murdered Children (POMC) for all of April and May.
Here’s the set-up:
A shocking crime. A loved one, brutally murdered. Paul’s life is suddenly invaded by police, reporters, the harsh glare of spotlights on a family’s private sorrow. The killer shows no sorrow, no remorse – a teen sociopath whose dead eyes stare in sullen silence. Paul does not want blood or vengeance. He wants to know why.
Paul Kelly was a good man. But his obsession is drawing him into the darkest depths of the human soul. Where a terrible truth lurks in the shadows of lies. And a price must be paid to answer…
–Peter Straub
“Spector (THE LIGHT AT THE END) is a strong writer who convincingly re-creates the dark, often gruesome world of paramedics and firefighters. Most impressive is his exploration into Paul’s character and how ordinary people cope with extraordinary grief and horror. Not for the faint of heart, Spector’s latest is for lovers of the best psychological thrillers, along the lines of Ruth Rendell’s.”
–Publishers Weekly
“A powerful novel of one man’s search for an answer after a loved one is brutally murdered. The question is why? Filled with heartbreak and horror, an unflinching trip into the heart of darkness. Highest recommendation. “
–Recluse

“I can absolutely see why a movie company optioned this thriller..”
Roxanne Mchenry, Top 50 Reviewer
Here’s the set-up:
This is book 1 of 3 in the Randy Black series. It is followed by A Demon Awaits and Gretchen Greene.
–Destiny Booze, Romantic Suspense/Thriller Author
“The plotting of this book is incredibly involved and detailed, with writing that is appropriately descriptive yet fast-paced… He develops his characters masterfully–particularly Randy Black, and what a complex individual he is. Since I was working with an e-book, I found myself sneaking peeks at it during work yesterday, continued reading it last night and had to finish it this morning. If you like thrillers, then you will definitely enjoy reading Sin & Vengeance and I bet you’ll find it hard to put down.”
–Melissa B. Owens of www.Melissas-bookshelf.com
“Charlie Marston is a likable guy who’s recently graduated from college, where he studied oenology and chemistry with a view to joining his father’s winemaking business. But lately Charlie’s been sowing his oats with a troublemaker, Randy Black, who’s exactly the sort of guy Charlie’s father doesn’t approve of: Randy is an amoral hedonist and a thrill seeker who’s almost certainly going to get Charlie in trouble if he continues to hang around with him. One night, something terrible happens, and Charlie’s life turns on a dime. Randy, he comes to understand, is a dangerous friend to have. Just how dangerous becomes increasingly clear over the next months.”
–Debra Hamel, Top 1000 Reviewer

Imagine a world where your most precious inalienable rights are denied. Where individual freedom is a thing of the past. Imagine World War II without FDR …
“A super spy novel!” –The Savannah News-Press
Here’s the set-up:
A banker, linguist, and demolitions expert who has successfully infiltrated German intelligence, FBI Special Agent Thomas Cochrane is handpicked by Roosevelt for an impossible mission: To find Hitler’s spy before he carries out a plan that will remove the president from office at a critical moment in the century’s history. As Cochrane, with the help of British Intelligence agent Laura Worthington, circles closer to his elusive quarry, a spy with supporters in the highest levels of U.S. government readies the world stage for a final act of annihilation that will alter the tide of war–and the future of the free world–in unthinkable ways.
“A Chiller!” –Los Angeles Times
“This 1985 espionage thriller follows FBI agent William Cochran’s efforts to stop a Nazi spy from assassinating FDR. Toss in a love affair with a British Secret Service operative and you have the makings of a page-turner. LJ’s reviewer found the book “complex in characterization, crisp in dialogue, and thorough in its background.”

Kindle Nation Daily Free Book Alert, Sunday, April 17: Pre-Order Daisy Goodwin’s Short Story “THE DUCHESS’ TATTOO” Free from MacMillan, plus … Move over, Inspector Clouseau! Mobashar Qureshi’s Hilarious RACE (Today’s Sponsor)
Jon Rupret is a cop who is bold, funny, and ambitious.
He also has no idea what he’s doing…
“Move over Inspector Clouseau, the world of crime fighting has another hilarious and bumbling yet serendipitously brill[i]ant character.”
–Robert Gerard
Here’s the set-up:
Parking Officer Jon Rupret wants desperately to move up from handing out parking tickets. An impulsive act from his past throws him into Operation Anti-RACE—a unit set up to stop RACE. He is partnered with veteran detective, Phillip Beadsworth, a mild mannered Brit who doesn’t much like Rupret and knows more than he reveals.
Along the way Rupret encounters Mahmud Hanif, a qualified engineer, who drives a taxi to pay his bills; DJ Krash, the second best disc-jockey in the world; Cal Murray, the owner of the House of Jam, the hottest club in Toronto; and of course, his mother, a grade school teacher in Guelph, who thinks Rupret is a financial advisor working on Bay street.
RACE is a compelling mystery and a humorous look at Toronto through Jon Rupret’s eyes.
–Ready to Read
“Those looking for an entertaining read need look no further. This is Qureshi’s first book. An hilarious romp through the streets of Toronto. His protagonist, Jon Rupret, as well as being an extremely likeable and engaging character, will have you laughing out loud in no time. The humour comes at you fast and relentless throughout the entire book. A delight to read.”
–Book-i-vore
“What I liked best about this novel was the authour’s use of authentic Toronto locations and characters, yes I live in Toronto. Through pithy descriptions of real life places ranging from the downtown core to the steamy suburbs, the story really came alive for me. A nicely crafted novel, I anticipate reading more by Mr. Qureshi.”
–Robert Gerard
