We see a lot of great authors and titles come through on the BookSends Mystery/Thrillers list, which features the best deals in the genre each day, but there are some that prove themselves to be a cut above the rest. We've gathered eight of the top authors in this Best-Of-The-Best Bundle and are presenting them here in this special collection, available from September 24th to October 16th.
Certainly the accomplishments of these authors speak for themselves. Many have reached the New York Times or USA Today Bestseller lists or are mainstays of Amazon's bestseller lists. Many have made a name for themselves as stars in the genre. It's no stretch to say that between them they've sold far more than a million copies. That's all incredible, but there's another reason we've put them together. At BookSends, we're standing right there when readers decide to buy books and the data that we see shines a bright light on these titles. From the volume of clicks, the conversion percentages, the number of views and social media shares, these are the books that have that magic something that makes readers say they've got to have 'em and take action.
In the BookSends Mystery/Thriller Bundle, you'll find an impressive variety of protagonists and situations, but all continue to deliver beyond the initial punch with stories that get readers invested and continually turning the pages. From rogue detectives to tough-as-nails cops, a mother whose son has been kidnapped to rookies meant for something more, struggling FBI agents to savvy criminal investigators, special ops to private eyes, there's only one conclusion to draw: the criminals out there don't know what they're up against.
What I love about these books is that they all bring something new and fresh to the table in the way that they form and develop their heroes and heroines. These are stories about the dark criminal elements that exist in the world, but they're also close examinations of the very human individuals who take it upon themselves to stand up and confront them. That's what drew me in and made these stories more than something on a page. That's why I'm bringing them to you now with all of the urgency of an EMT rushing in at full speed after shots fired during an armed robbery. There's only one way to stanch the bleeding.

I just uploaded the final version of New Avalon to Amazon last night, so I thought it would be a good time to remind everyone that, hey, I have a new book coming out! November 15th is the big day. I'm very excited about this book, and early buzz from readers who saw early copies is quite positive.
