T. Jefferson Parker appears to be self-publishing some of his backlist police procedurals and today he has The Blue Hour, the first title in his Merci Rayborn series, free in the Kindle store.Book Description
Tim Hess is a semi-retired homicide cop staring at his own death sentence – lung cancer. Time is running out. Thrice divorced and childless, Hess is the classic loner cop – so he’s happy to accept the difficult job offered to him: find and stop a serial killer who’s been abducting beautiful young women in Orange County.
His new partner, and boss, is the brash, ambitious Merci Rayborn. She’s unpopular and unloved by her fellow cops, but she’s also relentless, smart and principled. Hess, challenged by the investigation and by his own disease, isn’t happy about taking orders from Merci, and he certainly isn’t planning for her to fall in love with him…
Intricately plotted and surprisingly moving, THE BLUE HOUR is T. Jefferson Parker’s most compelling – and satisfying – thriller yet.
You can also get the second in the series, Red Light, for 99 cents (and the companion audiobook for $1.99). Black Water is published by Hyperion, still, but is under $5 currently.
Not connected to any series, two more novels are also currently on sale for 99 cents: Silent Joe and Where Serpents Lie. I have several of his novels in my library, but not a single one of the ones on this sale (yay!).
