HarperCollins is promoting its new Charles Todd mystery, An Impartial Witness, by giving away a related story for free.
Starting Tuesday, readers can get a free download of Todd's short story The Girl on the Beach (at Amazon and some other e-tailers) - but only for two weeks. As of Sept. 14, it's gone. The story features Bess Crawford, a recurring character in the Todd books, and readers who download the story also get excerpts from An Impartial Witness, A Duty to the Dead and the upcoming A Lonely Death, which is due out in January of 2011.
Chalres Todd is the pseudonym for a mother/son writing team.
