Mystery and suspense.

The Dead Never Forget: A Bragg Thriller

This is the action-packed novel that launched Jack Lynch’s Edgar Award and two-time Shamus Award-nominated Bragg series…vaulting him into the pantheon of detective fiction masters alongside Raymond Chandler, Sue Grafton, Dashiell Hammett, Robert B. Parker and Ross MacDonald.

“Tough, taut and terse… literate without being lofty, not unlike the work of Hammett himself.” The Thrilling Detective

Korean War vet and ex-reporter Peter Bragg is hired by Armando Barker, a retired mobster, to find out who is targeting him and his eleven-year-old daughter with death threats. But after a gruesome killing of someone close to Barker, the threats become a bloody promise. Barker’s violent past in Sand Valley, a bleak, California desert town, has come back to haunt him with a vengeance. So that’s where Bragg goes, walking right into the vicious, bloody war that’s raging between the town’s factions…and becoming everyone’s target.

"I love that Brash Books has brought the Bragg books back into print. This is straight up some of the best California hard boiled writing you will ever read. Lynch is a natural story teller and has such a wonderful style it is impossible to put the book down. If you like reading noir-ish books or ar a fan of hardboiled detectives grab this book now.
It also has one of the best covers I've seen in a LONG time. An all around perfect book." Jon Jordan, Crimespree Magazine

“First-rate, well-plotted. Bragg is a restrained and believable hero. The action scenes are excellent. The gangland gun battle that rages across Sand Valley is a superb.” 101 Knights: A Survey of American Detective Fiction

“Bragg is authentic, gripping, gritty.” San Francisco Examiner

Originally Published as “Bragg’s Hunch.”

General fiction..

The Lawmen


Only two men have the courage to stand against the notorious Hopkins gang -- a former Confederate officer and an ex-slave.

The average life expectancy for a marshal in Topaz, Arizona, is three weeks. Down-on-his-luck Clay Chandler takes the marshal’s job out of desperation. Clay has barely settled into the job when Vance Hopkins drunkenly guns down a black man. Clay arrests Vance for murder, but Wes Hopkins and his gang run Topaz, and they demand that Vance be released -- or else. Clay has given his word to uphold the law, though, and he’ll do that even if it means losing his life. No one else in Topaz thinks a dead black man is worth taking on the Hopkins gang -- no one but a former slave named Essex Johnson, who was the murdered man’s friend. Ex-Confederate Clay and Essex can’t stand each other, but Clay reluctantly swears Essex in as his deputy. The two of them are aided by a prostitute named Julie, who had her face carved up by the Hopkins gang. Wes Hopkins gives Clay a deadline to release Vance, or the gang is going to come and take him. The question is, will the Hopkins gang kill Clay and Essex, or will they kill each other first?

Looks like a good on, but on most of my book threads I try to limit them to free ones that sometimes pop up for a day or so.

Dam I can do daily threads on books that cost money, but just limit myself to the ones that the authors discount for a day or so to get people hooked or interested in what ever story line their books have.

Thanks for contributing to the thread Foolsgold!

I've read Thieves Emporium and I enjoyed it. It's the first in a series, of course.

I've read Thieves Emporium and I enjoyed it. It's the first in a series, of course. That is the bait, authors sometimes make the first few in a series free or dirt cheap, to hook you into maybe buying and following the newer ones.

One example in the extreme is the , "Dark Tower" series that stretches over 30 years by Stephen King ! ;D
But of course non of this series were ever offered free iir.

I am glad I kept all of the books over the years, and was forced to reread all of them when a new book came out, just to keep the plot and action fresh in mind.

Post your feedback here please, I really liked the book. I hope you do too.Honestly I didn't really find this book believable at all. The "badlands" or the darknet, deep web, etc. is portrayed in a non-believable way. The book was published in 2014, and while the real currency of the darknet is cryptocurrency (bitcoin, etc.) they still transact in physical gold? I have not heard of a single instance where people involved in darknet activity have physical gold shipped from one location to another. So for me, the fact that he left out the biggest part of anonymous darknet economics made it hard to swallow the rest. True, there is some good stuff in the book, about how the government really acts and how they use their massive powers to crush anyone who doesn't bow down to them, how being anonymous is not criminal, etc. Some parts of the story were left completely unfinished, and I noticed a few grammatical errors/spelling errors. Overall a good message, but not believable. 5/10.

Each cd contains multiple books, If you're going to read Weber, start with On Basilisk Station. It's the first of the Honor Harrington series. Baen Books started giving books away for free years ago. It's like a dope dealer giving away a bag of heroin. His sales jumped 30%.
