(Formerly) Free Ebook on Kindle: Flood

In anticipation of the release of Andrew Vachss' 18th and final Burke thriller, Another Life, you can download the first book in the series, Flood, for FREE until January 3rd, 2009. you can can get Flood for $2.95. Although previously announced as a free download until January 3rd, over on the Kindle blog (and despite my snagging it for free when it was listed earlier today), the price has inexplicably been raised to $2.95 and the earlier interview and details have disappeared from the Kindle blog completely. Perhaps they were just loaded up early, but whatever the problem was, this book is still a bargain. Note that all of Vachss' books contain scenes of explicit violence, sex and child abuse (he is a child abuse advocate).

Amazon.com: There has been some discussion that Another Life might be the last novel in the Burke series. Do you see it that way? And if so, why?

Andrew Vachss: I don't just "see" it that way, I *wrote* it that way. Another Life is the coda to the Burke novels, the final chapter in a series that has been running since 1985.

Read the rest of the interview here. This is now missing from the Kindle blog, along with details on the free download.
