Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Tim Dorsey's
Electric Barracuda goes to Kris O. from Durant, OK. And James W. Hall's
Silencer will be sent to Trish R. of Decatur, GA. The books will go out in the mail tomorrow.
The Edgars will be presented tonight, but I'm offering two books that were nominated for Edgar Awards this year. Laura Lippman's
I'd Know You Anywhere was nominated for Best Novel. I have an uncorrected proof to give away, the story of a wife and mother who had been kidnapped and held hostage for six weeks when she was fifteen. As her kidnapper sits on Death Row, he reaches out, contacting her.
Or you could win Paul Doiron's
The Poacher's Son, nominated for Best First Novel. Game warden Mike Bowditch took the opposite direction as his father who makes his living poaching illegal game. But, when the police search for his father, suspecting him of killing a cop, Mike is the only one who believes his father is innocent. Together with a retired warden, Mike goes searching for his father in the Maine wilderness, knowing he needs to stay out of the way of the real cop killer.
Which Edgar nominee would you like to win,
I'd Know You Anywhere or
The Poacher's Son? You can enter to win both books, but I need separate entries. Email me at
lholstine@yahoo.com. The subject lines should read, either "Win I'd Know You Anywhere " or "Win The Poacher's Son." Include your name and mailing address in the body of the email. Entries only from the U.S., please.
The contest will close Thursday, May 5 at 6 PM PT when I'll draw the winners using a random number generator. The books will go out in the mail on Friday. Good luck!
