The new KD Thorne thriller, The Hunt for the Ransomware Hackers, should come out in the next few weeks. When it officially launches, there will be discount pricing on the series. I’ll have more on that as the release approaches. 

In the meantime, two books you might be interested in–

Recently read Prague Fatale: A Bernie Gunther Novel #8 (2012) by Philip Kerr. Takes place during WWII. Bernie Gunther is a Berlin police detective. The police are also part of the German army SS, so Gunther gets roped into investigating a murder in Prague, Czechoslovakia, for a high-ranking SS officer. This is an excellent, gritty WWII crime thriller. Gunther hates Nazis, hates authority figures in general, and has the mother of all bad attitudes. Plus he’s an excellent detective. But even he doesn’t know what he’s gotten himself into by the time he finds out who committed the murder and why. Lots of fun!

Also read Raylan, Raylan Givens Book 3, (2012) by Elmore Leonard. (I included a link at the beginning of the month when it was discounted.) This was, I think, the last novel he wrote. It’s more episodic than a typical Leonard book, concerning four cases that US Marshal Raylan Givens is tasked with: a body parts theft case, a coal country murder, a bank robbery, and a fugitive hunt, all of which take place in eastern Kentucky. Though the novel covers four cases, it’s the usual action-packed, suspense-filled romp filled with the local color and regional dialogue that you expect from Leonard. It’s a shame there won’t be more of these. 

That’s all for now. Happy reading!
