"Chris Barry is back and better than ever." - Jessica Subject, Mark of the Stars

The friendly takeover of CSS Inc. leaves computer executive Chris Barry unemployed, very wealthy and pleased with the situation.

But the hiatus is short-lived...

As a result of his involvement in the recent Vigilante investigation, Barry is approached by Jonathan Addley and invited to join Discreet Activities, a government agency of the clandestine variety,

Accepting, he promptly takes on his first assignment under the guise of an IT consultant, to investigate possible links between a local import business and the murder of its MIS director.

[#2. This was free last April as well. I downloaded it back then but never got around to reading it. That I never got around to reading it should not be taken as the book being bad. I just cannot possibly read everything that comes up free and might be worth reading.]

Knowing (Nicolas Cage, Rose Byrne) screenwriter Ryne Douglas Pearson brings a terrifying tale of dark forces to life in The Donzerly Light.
Jay Grady wakes up in handcuffs. Sitting at a table in an isolated room. Across from him sits a man who wants Jay to recount his life. Every detail of it.
If not, he'll kill him.
So begins Jay's reluctant journey to a past he's tried to forget. From his days ruling Wall Street as an impossibly intuitive stock picker, to just a few hours earlier, when he pumped six bullets into a transient outside a dying Missouri town. A drifter he'd once thought was just an ordinary man.
But he was far from ordinary. And Jay came to realize he was not a man at all, but something darker. Something sinister.
An evil he was destined to face.

[#53. This might have been on the list yesterday as well. If so, I passed it by for some reason. It has lots of good reviews along with mediocre ones and a very far fetched premise. At free, you have little to lose other than some time.]
