Why not THE OTHER? Because long, long ago, in a galaxy far, far away a mighty empire called Amazon discovered that THE OTHER, the first in the Zack Tolliver, FBI series, while enrolled in KDP Select, was still on the e-book shelves of a Japanese company on some distant planet, despite the author's request it … Continue reading FREE ON CHRISTMAS DAY: ALL Zack Tolliver EBOOKS (except THE OTHER)
