Today's Deal Update

A quick reminder, there now only a bit over a day left on the current "100 Kindle books for $3.99 or less" list at Amazon. I suspect there will be a new list on Tuesday, but there is no guarantee; what I do know is that the books on the current list will mostly return to full price at the end of the month.

Amazon has matched B&N's price on Helter Skelter: The True Story of the Manson Murders , by Vincent Bugliosi and Curt Gentry, which is today's the Nook Daily Find. Grab it while it's $2.99 on Kindle or at B&N.
Book Description
Prosecuting attorney in the Manson trial, Vincent Bugliosi held a unique insider's position in one of the most baffling and horrifying cases of the twentieth century: the cold-blooded Tate-LaBianca murders carried out by Charles Manson and four of his followers. What motivated Manson in his seemingly mindless selection of victims, and what was his hold over the young women who obeyed his orders? Here is the gripping story of this famous and haunting crime.

Both Helter Skelter and Vincent Bugliosi's subsequent Till Death Us Do Part won Edgar Allan Poe Awards for best true-crime book of the year. Bugliosi is also the author of Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O. J. Simpson Got Away with Murder (Norton, 1996) and other books. Curt Gentry, an Edgar winner, is the author of J. Edgar Hoover: The Man and the Secrets (available in Norton paperback) and Frame-Up: The Incredible Case of Tom Mooney and Warren Billings.
