An Act of Evil (apa The Latimer Mercy) is the first in the Augustus Maltravers series by Robert Richardson. Per SYKM, it won the 1985 New Blood Dagger Award. These books were originally traditionally published, but now have reasonably priced e-versions published by Joffe Books (and also go on sale reasonably often). So if you like the freebie first-in-series, keep an eye out here, and I’ll post more if I see them go on sale.
The Book of the Dead is the third in the Maltravers series. It’s free right now at Kindle US and UK.
