Grim Khonsu: Chapter 17

It’s never a good sign when the client can’t be trusted. The argument between Aveline Peron and one of her partners, Colville, gives Grim more questions than answers. Every hunch he follows, things grow murkier — and more dangerous.

Why get ebooks from Smashwords? Okay, they don’t deliver directly to your ereader, but neither do they tie you in to a particular device. Buy or download from Smashwords, and you can transfer the book to whatever device you prefer. And if they change their terms-of-service, it doesn’t affect any books you already have — they’re yours, just as if you’d bought a physical copy. There’s none of this ‘buying a licence to read the book, not actually buying a digital copy’ stuff you get with certain other ebook sales sites.

So check out smashwords.com/sale for some bargain holiday reading.
