Update: 12/19/11 Now free in the US Kindle store. Still full price at Barnes & Noble.
Hurt Machine (US/UK), the seventh in the Moe Prager series by Reed Farrel Coleman, is free for UK customers in the Kindle store. I expect it may free for US customers and perhaps from Barnes & Noble sometime tomorrow morning, but this is a new release and may be a pricing error, instead, so double check the price before clicking.You may have the previous title in this series, Innocent Monster, which was free this past July.
Book DescriptionGet the free ebook from Barnes & Noble.
At a pre-wedding party for his daughter Sarah, Moe Prager is approached by his ex-wife and former PI partner Carmella Melendez. It seems Carmella's estranged sister Alta has been murdered, but no one in New York City seems to care. Why? Alta, a FDNY EMT, and her partner had months earlier refused to give assistance to a dying man at a fancy downtown eatery. Moe decides to help Carmella as a means to distract himself from his own life-and-death struggle. Making headway on the case is no mean feat as no one, including Alta's partner Maya Watson, wants to cooperate. Moe chips away until he discovers a cancer roiling just below the surface, a cancer whose symptoms include bureaucratic greed, sexual harassment, and blackmail. But is any of it connected to Alta's brutal murder?
