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.

I wonder if that has anything to do with the current backlog? Or will it add to it?

Thanks, mimikoh! I hadn't seen that blurb. (Here's an excerpt:)

Quote
In keeping with the hotel’s literary history, the Algonquin’s eBooks on Demand offers Kindles loaded with a variety of best-sellers, modern classics, and, of course, books penned by the hotel’s Round Table members such as: Fanny Herself and Buttered Side Down, by Edna Ferber and Love Conquers All by Robert Benchley.  Additional titles can be added upon guests’ request.   Kindles are loaned on a first come, first serve basis for use in the hotel’s legendary lobby or in the comfort of one’s own guest room.

Note: we have another thread going on this topic, so I'll be merging this thread over there shortly. Will lock this one for now. Here's the thread:
