Kindle Dollar Days

My Kindle Dollar Days posts highlight books that are under or near one dollar in price. Unless otherwise indicated, the titles are priced at 99 cents (or less) for the Amazon Kindle. Often these are from independent authors, as 99 cents is the lowest possible price they can set (only large publishers can pick prices lower and offer books as free downloads). If they set the price at $1.00 instead, the price is often automatically discounted by Amazon and will show as $0.80 instead.

Master Of The Game by Sidney Sheldon.

One of Sidney Sheldon's most popular and bestselling titles.... Kate Blackwell is one of the richest and most powerful women in the world. She is an enigma, a woman surrounded by a thousand unanswered questions. Her father was a diamond prospector who struck it rich beyond his wildest dreams. Her mother was the daughter of a crooked Afrikaaner merchant. Her conception was itself an act of hate-filled vengeance. At the extravagent celebrations of her ninetieth birthday, there are toasts from a Supreme Court Judge and a telegram from the White House. And for Kate there are ghosts, ghosts of absent friends and of enemies. Ghosts from a life of blackmail and murder. Ghosts from an empire spawned by naked ambition! Sidney Sheldon is one of the most popular storytellers in the world. This is one of his best-loved novels, a compulsively readable thriller, packed with suspense, intrigue and passion. It will recruit a new generation of fans to his writing.
