Today's Deals

90% off Ed McBain's "87th Precinct" Series is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. This means each one is only 99 cents (although there are 35 in the series, released as ebooks)! I can see that I'll definitely need to update my gift certificate and double check my booklist today, so I can fill in the missing ones. Amazon's Thomas & Mercer imprint now has the exclusive on the older titles in series, as well as the Matthew Hope series, which should be released this Fall in ebook form and re-released in paper. These don't have to be read in order, so if you can only grab a few, get those that appear the most interesting and you won't miss much.
Series Description
Thomas & Mercer is thrilled to publish crime fiction master Ed McBain's 87th Precinct series, originally released starting in the 1950s and now available for the first time in digital format (paperbacks coming in February).
