This week, I have two crime novels set in winter to give away.

Simon Scarrow’s Dead of Night is a Berlin Wartime thriller. Criminal Inspector ZHorst Schenke is caught between murder and moral conflict as looming war tightens its deathly grip. As Germany strangles under the tight grip of the Nazi Party, the frozen winter of 1940 brings even more reasons to fear the dark in the crackling new WWII crime novel. On a night in Berlin, during the most bitter winter in memory, SS doctor Manfred Schmesler is found in his study, dead from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. The hurried and official version of the Reich is suicide. Schmesler’s widow doesn’t believe it. At the risk of running afoul of the Gestapo, neither does Criminal Inspector Horst Schenke. The warnings to drop the investigation only compel Schenke to dig deeper. Then Schenke learns of the suspicious death of a child in a remote clinic outside Potsdam. At first, the cases seem unconnected, but soon chilling links emerge that point to a terrifying secret. Schenke isn’t the only one in jeopardy. So is everyone within his circle, including Schmesler’s widow, who has a secret of her own.

Perhaps you’d prefer a different version of Agatha Christie’s Murder on the Orient Express. Bob Al-Greene adapted and illustrated the graphic novel of the classic mystery. It’s quite faithful to the book, as I remember it.

“The murderer is with us—on the train now . . .”Just after midnight, the famous Orient Express is stopped in its tracks by a snowdrift. By morning, the millionaire Samuel Edward Ratchett lies dead in his compartment, stabbed a dozen times, his door locked from the inside. Without a shred of doubt, one of his fellow passengers is the murderer.Isolated by the storm, detective Hercule Poirot must find the killer among a dozen of the dead man’s enemies, before the murderer decides to strike again. This beautiful, full-color graphic novel adaptation brings this favorite mystery to life—perfect for longtime fans and new readers alike.
