Today's Kindle Deal of the Day is $0.99 Mysteries and Thrillers. You may recognize the authors, as they have placed various of their backlist books into the Kindle KDP Select program, offering them free or at low prices; however, I only have all of Walker's series in my library, which means the rest I've either missed it or they haven't been offered for free (or possibly even at this low a price point; at least, not often - I found one of Annechino's titles in my library, which I purchased for 99 cents).Deal Description

Point Man ($2.00 / £1.29 UK), by Mark Townsend, is the Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK (the US edition is $13.69).Book Description
The point man leads the patrol into battle, looking for signs of danger. He is the first to face ambushes, hidden bombs and snipers. Few survive for long. Between 2007 and 2008, 20-year-old Kenny Meighan was the longest-serving point man in Helmand province. An exceptionally skilful and brave private, he was lucky to make it home alive. But in his hometown in Essex, where prospects are bleak and his father still suffers from the nightmares of his own war experience, Kenny's struggle is far from over.
Arnie and Jack: Palmer, Nicklaus, and Golf's Greatest Rivalry ($1.99 Kindle, B&N), by Ian O'Connor, is the Nook Daily Find, price matched on Kindle. Looks like a good Father's Day gift; if Dad is reading on a Kindle Fire, be sure to pick up today's free Android App, as well: Super Stickman Golf.Book Description
Surprisingly, one of sport’s most contentious, complex, and defining clashes played out not in the boxing ring or at the line of scrimmage but on the genteel green fairways of the world’s finest golf courses. Arnie and Jack. Palmer and Nicklaus. Their fifty-year duel, in both the clubhouse and the boardroom, propelled each to the status of American icon and pushed modern golf to the heights and popularity it enjoys today.
Arnie was the cowboy, with rugged good looks, Popeye-like forearms, a flailing swing, and charm enough to win fans worldwide. Jack was scientific, precise, conservative, aloof, even fat and awkward. Ultimately, Nicklaus got the better of Palmer on the course, beating him in major victories 18-7. But Palmer bested Nicklaus almost everywhere else, especially in the hearts of the public and in endorsement dollars. By the end of this page-turning narrative, we see that each man wanted what the other had: Arnold wanted the trophies. Jack wanted the love.
In the tradition of John Feinstein and Mark Frost, Ian O’Connor has written a compelling account of one of the greatest rivalries in sports history.

Buckle your seatbelt for the first-ever follow up to Ian Fleming's only children's story. When the Tooting family finds an old engine and fits it to their camper van, they have no idea what kind of adventure lies ahead.
