KB Book of the Day
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.

Just to let you guys know that I sent out seventeen copies of Elfhunter. They are going media rate, so it might be a little while, but they will soon be yours!

I signed them, but I didn't inscribe them unless instructed in case you want to give them away later.  Wink

Merry Christmas to my Kindlefriends...early!

Thank you so much!!! I didn't realize how beautiful the cover artwork was until I saw it in person. You are such a talented artist! I must also confess that although I have already bought the entire series on Kindle I haven't read any of them yet because they are drowned in my hundreds of books  Cry But now that I have a physical copy I'm going to read it right away!  Cheesy

Thanks for the offer Archer, that is very kind of you. But if you find another it should go to someone who'd read it. I always feel bad for books that just sit on the shelves to be looked at.  yip I'm just a little weird  Cheesy   anyway my niece and sister will take good care of this one. I plan on giving it as a Christmas gift (elves always make great gifts) and then one of them and I can read it at the same time!

The elves have arrived in the mail!  Archer, the book is beautiful.  I loved flipping through, looking at the pictures.  I love my Kindle, but books will always feel special.  Thank you, Archer!

Thank you archer! Smiley

Mine arrived today and others are right, the cover is beautiful.

And, wow, but it is a rather hefty book. Glad I'll actually be reading it on the Kindle (although I do plan to leaf through and check out the illustrations before I send it off to #1 daughter). Cheesy

Mike:

You should see Fire-heart! It is affectionately known as the 'Big, Blue Footstool'.
All illustrations SHOULD have come through in Kindle versions, but I'm like you...I leaf through books and find 'em!

So glad you received it in good shape.
