Free Book Roundup

Looks like I missed a day at Read an EBook Week, this year. Here are the offerings for day 5:
  • Over at AllRomance EBooks, there are a total of 537 free books this week. I really suspect most of them are free all the time, but if you see some you really want, be sure to grab them by the weekend ends.
  • central avenue publisher has three books up: False Witness by Anita Rodgers; In The Eye of the Beholder by Beverly Cialone; The Fantabulous Fens by Gautam Sen
  • Twilight Times Books has added No place for Gods by Gerald Mills and Striking Back from Down Under by Dr. Bob Rich

E-Reads is participating in RaEBW this year and are giving away two books: Suspicion of Innocence ($5.79 Kindle), by Barbara Parker, and Fellowship of Fear (Gideon Oliver) ($3.49 Kindle), by Aaron Elkins. Download them in EPUB or MOBI format from their website, this week only.
Suspicion of Innocence
Gail Connor and Anthony Quintana make a combustible mix on many levels. Passionately attracted to each other on a personal level, they are equally passionate defenders of their clients even when their interests don’t always work in tandem. Set all this against the sultry background of a Miami that is riddled with crime and corruption, drowning in drugs, illegal immigrants and shady deals, simmering with a melting-pot clash of cultures and you have a recipe for highly entertaining, hotly explosive crime and justice. In the first title in the Suspicion series, SUSPICION OF INNOCENCE, Gail Conner is a fast-rising attorney in a major law firm, about to make partner—until her life is derailed by the discovery of her sister’s murdered body and the quick revelation that Gail is the prime suspect. Gail must fight for her life as she gets a first-hand look at the dark underside of the legal system.

Fellowship of Fear (Gideon Oliver)
When anthropology professor Gideon Oliver is offered a teaching fellowship at U.S. military bases in Germany, Sicily, Spain, and Holland, he wastes no time accepting. Stimulating courses to teach, a decent stipend, all expenses paid, plenty of interesting European travel . . . what's not to like?

It doesn't take him long to find out. On his first night, he is forced to fend off two desperate, black-clad men who have invaded his Heidelberg hotel room with intent to kill. And then there's the little matter of a few trivial details that the recruiting agency forgot to mention—such as the fact that the two previous holders of the fellowship both met with mysterious ends.

Today's backlist/small press/indie, totally free, books for everyone on Kindle. These are are not likely to be free for long, so double check prices before one-clicking (genres are my best guess), as most of them go back up after a day or two (sometimes less), at which point most of them become eligible for the Kindle Lending Library.
