Kindle Freebies~The Black Bullet (Sean O'Brien mystery/thriller) [Kindle Edition] by Tom Lowe 472 pgs [mystery/thriller]
Glenda Lawson believes her husband was the only U.S. serviceman shot and killed on American soil during World War II. But in 1945, investigators ruled that Billy Lawson died in a “mugging turned ugly.”
In 2012, Sean O’Brien, learning the ropes of commercial fishing, gets his anchor caught on something underwater. He discovers a German U-boat partially buried in sand, and inside is a frightening cargo. The media pick up the story, and a 35-year-old woman who has a haunting tale, visits O’Brien. Her grandfather, Billy Lawson, was fishing one night on a Florida beach when he saw something very disturbing.
THE BLACK BULLET is a thriller that combines an unsolved murder from 1945 to a modern-day discovery connected to America’s entry into nuclear weapons, the Manhattan Project.
The last thing Sean O’Brien wants is to investigate a sixty-seven-year-old murder. But Billy Lawson’s granddaughter and his cancer-stricken widow are desperate for closure. For O’Brien to bring it to them he has to pry the lid off a secret buried with the Manhattan Project. It’s information that got Billy Lawson killed, and O’Brien soon learns the old murder and his new discovery at the bottom of the sea are inextricably knotted. O’Brien is thrust into a world where nothing is as it appears, and everything is riding on a secret Billy Lawson took to his grave.
and~Ice Diaries [Kindle Edition] by Lexi Revellian 282 pgs[mystery/thriller/romance]
It's 2018 and Tori's managing. Okay, so London is under twenty metres of snow, almost everybody has died in a pandemic or been airlifted south, and the only animals around are rats. Plus her boyfriend never returned from going to find his parents a year ago when the snow began - but she's doing fine. Really.
She lives in an apartment that's luxurious, if short on amenities, in a block which used to be home to rich City bankers. A handful of fellow survivors are her friends, and together they forage for food and firewood, have parties once a month and even run a book club. The problem is they have no long-term future; eventually provisions will run out. Tori needs to find transport to make the two-thousand-mile journey south to a warm climate and start again.
Enter Morgan, a disturbingly hot cage fighter from a tougher, meaner world where it's a mistake to trust people. He's on the run from the leader of the gang he used to work with. And he has a snowmobile.

A Provençal Mystery[Kindle Edition] by Ann Elwood[historical docudrama]233 pgs
Why did a nun in a seventeenth-century convent flagellate herself until her blood spattered the wall? Why did nuns save a child doomed to death in the Holocaust and who wanted her killed? Who wants a lost head-shaped reliquary that holds something other than a head? And are answers to these questions the key to a terrible modern-day death in a quiet archive?
When American historian Pandora (Dory) Ryan finds a very rare, uncataloged seventeenth century nun’s diary inside a record book at the provincial archives in Avignon, she is thrilled. This is historian’s treasure. But she doesn’t know yet that it will send her on a search that brings about changes in how she feels about her profession, the irrational, and love with a sexy Frenchman. And it will take her from the archive on a dangerous adventure into the countryside of Provence, which, beautiful as it is, has a long and bloody history.
The archive’s dramatis personae: the grumpy archivist, with his paper-clip chains; the gofer, who smokes Gauloises and gets away with far too much; a nun with a sense of humor who harangues high school kids about sex; the nun's glamorous sidekick; a famous American historian, whose requests for documents are inexplicably denied; the eminent professor, destined to fall in love; his nervous graduate student. And that sexy Frenchman, who isn’t who he says he is.

Though Edwin may not stand out as the best looking or most charming fifteen-year-old boy in Chardwick, he has an unexplainable way of drawing unwanted attention to himself, and the villagers can't help but notice there is something off about him. Edwin would face dire consequences were anyone to discover that he has befriended a strange creature made of black smoke, or that he harbors dark secrets of sorcery.
But Edwin isn't the only one with secrets. His best friend, Walt, has a few that will change the life of every person in the mysterious village of Chardwick. Walt is the key to unlocking Edwin's own great destiny... if Edwin can survive the encounter.

Northern UK, winter 1991, 8:37pm. The monotony of the night shift at a military early warning radar station is broken by a loud alarm as a couple of UFOs are detected. They demonstrate operational capabilities far beyond anything that could have been built here on Earth. Major Dan Strange and Professor Lucy Compton from DI55 (Aerospace Intelligence) are called in to investigate. Neither of them could have imagined how the night would unfold.
This is an action adventure novel with 91,076 words, the paperback version has 382 printed pages in paperback format 'A' size.
From the paperback edition back-cover:
November 1991. One of the biggest UFO flaps in recorded history was about to occur in the skies over Northern Europe.
To the casual observer it was just another cold dark miserable night in the north east of England.
At Sentinel CC, a secret military early warning radar surveillance station located on the Yorkshire Moors, far from prying eyes, the 12 hour night shift, 6pm to 6am had started two and a half hours ago, and as usual, was as boring as watching geological change.
Everyone hated the night shift, nothing ever happened, ever, then suddenly at 20:37 Zulu a loud 'Two Tone' alarm sounded.......
Excerpt:
'Sentinel Charlie Charlie, this is Speedbird 235, we can see your two aircraft...can't make out the type, very bright red, wait a sec...yes, very red...changing from scarlet to crimson, there may be some blue and green in there as well...the colours are continually changing as I'm speaking...can't really make out the shape...wait...they're getting closer...stand by...looks like they are quite long, flattish looking platforms...one is a couple of hundred feet above the other. The colours are changing all the time, still predominantly red...very, very bright.' The audio from the speaker crackled. 'They're getting closer, should we be worried?'
