Vaccine Nation ($0.99), by David Lender, is today's Kindle Deal of the Day. I've been tempted by this one a time or two before; at this price, why not?Book Description
Dani North is a filmmaker who just won at the Tribeca Film Festival for her documentary, The Drugging of Our Children, a film critical of the pharmaceutical industry. When she is handed "whistleblower" evidence about the U.S. vaccination program, she has to keep herself alive long enough to expose it before a megalomaniacal pharmaceutical company CEO can have her killed.
Excerpts from Trojan Horse, The Gravy Train and Bull Street, David Lender's other thrillers, follow the text of Vaccine Nation.
A Lily of the Field ($1.56 / £0.99 UK), the seventh (and latest) in the Inspector Frederick Troy series by John Lawton, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $8.69). For those in the US, you might pick up Bluffing Mr. Churchill (#4 in the series) instead, currently marked down to $5.Book Description

Detective Inspector Huss (Inspector Irene Huss Series #1) ($3.49 Kindle, B&N), by Helene Tursten, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle.Book Description
Inspector Irene Huss, stationed in Göteborg, is called through the rain-drenched wintry streets to the scene of an apparent suicide. The dead man landed on the sidewalk in front of his luxurious duplex apartment. He was a wealthy financier connected, through an old-boys’ network, with the first families of Sweden. But the "Society Suicide" turns out to have been a carefully plotted murder. As more murders ensue, she tangles with street gang members, skinheads, immigrants and neo-Nazis—a cross-section of Sweden’s disaffected—in order to catch the killer.
Helene Tursten has been compared to P.D. James in her native Sweden. Her three subsequent Irene Huss mysteries have been highly praised. She was born in Göteborg in 1954 where she now lives.
