FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Children of the Fog by Cheryl Kaye Tardif

YOU HAVE 10 SECONDS TO MAKE A DECISION:
Let A Kidnapper Take Your Child, Or Watch Your Son Die.
Choose!


Sadie O'Connell is a bestselling author and a proud mother. But her life is about to spiral out of control. After her six-year-old son Sam is kidnapped by a serial abductor, she nearly goes insane. But it isn't just the fear and grief that is ripping her apart. It's the guilt. Sadie is the only person who knows what the kidnapper looks like. And she can't tell a soul. For if she does, her son will be sent back to her in "little bloody pieces".

When Sadie's unfaithful husband stumbles across her drawing of the kidnapper, he sets into play a series of horrific events that sends her hurtling over the edge. Sadie's descent into alcoholism leads to strange apparitions and a face-to-face encounter with the monster who abducted her son--a man known only as...The Fog.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Implicated by Peter Michael Rosenberg

Erdogan Denizli cleans up the messes other people make of their lives. Not their dirty houses or their dirty clothes - no, Erdogan gets a call when a bathroom is sprayed with arterial blood after a shamed pervert cuts his own throat, after a home-invasion-gone-wrong leaves bits of brain ground into the carpet, or when an undiscovered death drips putrefying body fluids into the apartment below. He's a crime scene cleaner in Ventura County, California and after forensics have done their job, he gets to work...

It's not his job to feel the pain of those left behind, or to feel sadness at a wasted and unmourned life, but he does. He can't help it. But he doesn't get involved; he can't afford to - he can't risk dredging up the shadows of his own past. But when, on a routine crime scene clean-up, he finds a piece of overlooked evidence, evidence that implicates the cops in an assassins-for-hire conspiracy, he can't look the other way, because now his own life's in danger. But who do you turn to for help when it's the cops that want you dead?

Implicated is a contemporary but noirish thriller with a "cast of characters straight out of an Elmore Leonard novel": Valerie, the femme fatale who wants to nail the cops who killed her husband... Maxim, the Azerbaijani mobster who wants in on a little bit of the American Dream ... ill-fated Sammy the Schmuck with his penchant for other people's lives (and other people's money). And Brad and Mikey, the cops who've long since thrown "Serve and Protect" out the window.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Real Women Wear Red by Kathy Holmes

When 40-something Kate "Cyn" Francis changes her name, her hair color, and her age in order to snag a younger man on a Caribbean cruise, the last thing she expects is to fall overboard for a Cary Grant look-alike.

Millie Evans, having recently sold her publishing empire, is on a succession of one-week cruises, looking to reconnect with a past love. But this is no ordinary love boat.

FREE -- US & UK Kindle Edition -- Fool's Journey by Mary Chase Comstock

Dubbed “Little Lizzie Borden” by the tabloids, a young girl took refuge in a series of private sanitariums, moving from one to another when the paparazzi found her.

Against the rain-washed backdrop of Seattle, surrounded by the images of tarot and the hidden messages of poetry, a woman must confront her past and make a decision: run again or face down the demons that haunt her still? Only a passage along the well-worn road of the Fool’s Journey will tell.
