66 Metres by J. F. Kirwan is the 1st novel in his Nadia Laksheva series of contemporary spy thrillers, free for a limited time courtesy of publisher Harlequin UK’s Carina.
This was the featured Free Book of the Week in the iTunes UK store, and if you are interested, there’s a mini-profile of the star character on the author’s website. The series stars an abruptly-orphaned Russian girl who grows up reluctantly following in her ex-Spetsnaz operative father’s footsteps in order to survive.
This adventure sees her working off a long indenture to a dangerous boss with what should be one final mission to go after a military weapon which only embroils her further into global espionage. NB: if you are interested in diving, apparently the author makes use of it in this story, incorporating his own extensive experience.
Offered in the UK and selected other countries worldwide (excluding North America), available at multiple retailers.
Free for a limited time @ Amazon, iTunes, Kobo, Google Play (offered in UK, also South America & Japan (via iTunes), when I spot-checked, YMMV for your own country)
