UK Kindle Daily Deal 4/7

The Kindle Deal of the day for those in the UK is three books in the Kate Shugak (Alaskan PI) series by Dana Stabenowfor for £0.99 each (~60% off). The author has ebook rights to some of the earlier stories in the series, so several are under $5 here in the US, with later titles published by Macmillan.

A Deeper Sleep: 15 (Main/UK; US edition $6.83)
KATE SHUGAK is a native Aleut working as a private investigator in Alaska. She's 5 foot 1 inch tall, carries a scar that runs from ear to ear across her throat and owns half-wolf, half-husky dog named Mutt. Resourceful, strong-willed, defiant, Kate is tougher than your average heroine - and she needs to be to survive the worst the Alaskan wilds can throw at her.

A DEEPER SLEEP. Kate Shugak is determined to convict the odious Louis Deem, who has been arrested and tried for several serious crimes but never convicted.

This time, Kate is convinced, it will be different. But when the jury returns a verdict of not guilty, Kate believes that Deem has literally got away with murder. And when, a few weeks later, two people turn up dead after an apparent robbery, Kate can't help but believe that Deem is involved... but what will it take to bring him to justice?
A Night Too Dark: 17 (Main/UK; US edition $6.83)
A NIGHT TOO DARK. In Alaska, somebody disappears every day. Hunters who head into the wilderness... Fishermen who brave the great rivers...Tourists who attempt to do both. But lately too many people have disappeared. And Kate is about to discover it's got something to do with the recent discovery of the world's second-largest gold mine in her very own backyard.
Though Not Dead: 18 (Main/UK; US edition $6.83)
THOUGH NOT DEAD. Kate's uncle Sam dies, leaving her a letter instructing Kate to 'find his father'. The problem is Sam's father disappeared nearly 90 years ago with a priceless tribal artifact.

As Kate delves into the old man's life, she unearths some surprising facts: his service in World War Two, his friendship with crime-writer Dashiell Hammet. The problem is that she's not the only one interested in Sam's past. And this someone has no compunction about putting Kate permanently out of the picture to get what they want.
