Today only... My crime novel, THE SHADOW BROKER, will be part of an Amazon Kindle Countdown deal. That means you can snag the best novel I’ve written for $0.99 on Amazon.com. That’s one hell of a cost-to-value ratio.

After December 16th the price gradually climbs until it’s back to its original price of $4.99 by the end of the week. Please note, this promotion only applies to the e-book.
