The Moon in Deep Winter
by Lee Polevoi

$0.99
Kindle Edition published 2008-01-10
Bestseller ranking: 460964

Product Description
This literary thriller revolves around Parker Sloane. When he returns from a dismal foray into third-world cash-smuggling to his childhood home in the woods of New England, it seems he’s seeing his country and his blended stepfamily for the first time—and finding both just as twitchy, desperate, paranoid and unpredictable as the underworld types he thought he’d escaped.

Before he can even unpack, Parker goes head-to-head with his relatives—his tyrannical stepfather, seething younger brother, newly evangelical mother, and his alluring younger half-sister Rita—and with the demons they never exorcised.

Delicately but disastrously, Parker attempts to keep his family from imploding, unaware that they have their own plans for escape. The Moon in Deep Winter combines the dark comedy of the Coen brothers with the doomed lyricism of Denis Johnson, creating an airtight world of homicidal family dysfunction.

And I like GMO as a name for the new book.

Me, too.  People will have to read the book to find out what it means.

Be nice Mike, I am paying attention and will be seeing you next month!

D'oh! I'm busted!! Grin

And yeah, I sort of like GMO, too. "Genetically Modified Organism" has sort of a dark ring to it. OoooOOOOoooo!  Cool

It's the big nose, right?  You know what they say about the size of a man's nose.
