Today's deal of the day:
Ken Livingsone's Memoirs: You can't Say That: £1.99 instead of £18.99 (can't imagine anyone paying the full price for a digital edition!)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/You-Cant-Say-That-ebook/dp/B005OI77MC/ref=kdd_page_title?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=1Q2M27VG437Y9X8RTVVQ&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=265314887&pf_rd_i=1000577623
Book Description
The turbulent true story from one of Britain's foremost politicians on over 40 years battling at the front line of social issues, as well as the Blair and Thatcher governments.
Product Description
A frank, gripping and moving - and controversial - autobiography from one of the most idiosyncratic and effective politicians of the last fifty years. His political convictions, his distance from New Labour, and his direct, plain-speaking style and personality have allowed him to survive longer than any of his contemporaries as a man of principle and influence.From his eccentric South London working class childhood to running one of the biggest cities in the world, Livingstone is one of the very few politicians to have scored a major victory over the Thatcher Government and has championed issues as diverse as the environment, gay rights and anti-racism. Written in Livingstone's unmistakable voice, by turns angrily sincere about social justice, wickedly droll and gossipy, and surprisingly wistful about people he has known and loved, this is a hugely important and remarkable book from one of the very few respected politicians at work today.0 -

Wrong Man Running by Alan Hruska - 99p (digital list price £6.49)
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Wrong-Man-Running-ebook/dp/B005Y0BY56/ref=kdd_page_title?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=160NBXK9TW1F477HRSMV&pf_rd_t=1401&pf_rd_p=265316547&pf_rd_i=1000577623
Product Description
At the beginning of this compelling novel, Rick Cornith—driven careerist, brilliant prosecutor, and the heir apparent to the district attorney’s job in Manhattan—is assigned a case involving a series of increasingly sadistic rapes. When the victims, all prominent women at the acme of their careers, begin identifying Cornith as their assailant, he takes flight.
No one who knows him well believes him capable of committing such shocking crimes, including his ex-wife. His children, made to suffer at school, are hurt and confused. And yet the evidence against him keeps mounting. When his ex-wife is herself sexually attacked, she in turn pegs Cornith as the culprit.
Attorney-turned-novelist Alan Hruska’s Wrong Man Running is the story of Cornith’s frantic search to find the man he thinks framed him and the psychological challenges of confronting the possibility that he might be liable for the heinous rapes several women have claimed he committed. Sharp and haunting, Hruska masterfully ratchets up the suspense in this deftly written novel, penning a taut legal thriller in the vein of Scott Turow and John Grisham.
About the Author
Alan Hruska is a native of New York and a graduate of Yale University and Yale Law School. He worked as a trial lawyer until 2002, representing both public and private clients, all the while nourishing his love of the arts.

In 2002 he began writing and directing movies including Nola, The Warrior Class, and Reunion. His 2005 off-Broadway revival of Waiting for Godot earned favorable reviews from the New York Times, the New York Post, and Village Voice. His own plays include New House Under Construction and Ring Twice for Miranda. Wrong Man Running is his second novel.0 -

Review
PRAISE FOR THE MYSTERIES OF THE GREEK DETECTIVE 'Anne Zouroudi writes beautifully - her books have all the sparkle and light of the island landscapes in which she sets them. The Lady of Sorrows, her latest, is a gorgeous treat ... Lovely, delicious prose and plot - as tasty as one of those irresistible honey-soaked Greek confections' Alexander McCall Smith 'A cracking plot, colourful local characters and descriptions of the hot, dry countryside so strong that you can almost see the heat haze and hear the cicadas - the perfect read to curl up with' Guardian 'Absorbing and beautifully written and reveals the savage, superstitious reality behind the pretty facade that is all that most of us know of any Greek island' Literary Review 'Diaktoros is a delight. Half Poirot, half deus ex machina, but far more earth-bound than his first name suggests, the portly detective has an other-worldly, Marlowesque incorruptibility as he waddles through the mean olive groves' Guardian
Product Description
It is winter in the mountains of Greece and as the snow melts in the tiny village of Vrisi a body is discovered lying by the side of the road.
In the same village, watched over by the shrine of St Fanourios (the patron saint of lost things) a coffin is unearthed and broken open, revealing some very unexpected remains to the astonished mourners.
Hermes Diaktoros, drawn to Vrisi on an affair of the heart, finds himself embroiled in the mysteries of both the dead body and the coffin, as well as the enigmatic last will and testament of Greece's most admired modern poet.
The Whispers of Nemesis is a story of desperate measures and dark secrets, of murder and immortality and of pride coming before the steepest of falls.0 -
