The Moon in Deep Winter

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.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26node%3D154606011%26redirect%3Dtrue%26sort%3Dprice%26field-price%3D0-0%26keywords%3D-domain&tag=kindleboards-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=390957

I got this by using jungle-search.com to omit any entry with the word "domain" in it (as in public domain). This isn't foolproof if a new freebie book with "domain" in the title ever gets released, but it's a pretty good workaround.

I can't take credit for this though. I have to thank the people in this Amazon board thread for coming up with it.

EDIT: There's an interesting website linked on that Amazon thread.

I don't think it's been mentioned here before.

You can use -keyword on jungle-search to achieve the same result as well.

That seems to do the opposite of what I posted about.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/search?node=154606011&keywords=-keyword&field-price=0-0&sort=price&redirect=true

Unless I did something wrong, that gives me all of the junk public domain books Amazon has added in the last couple of days, which I don't want.

Did you use the minus sign on j-s? I put -domain in and got only those books that aren't public domain.

Yeah, I don't want the books that are public domain. Smiley I just want the newer freebies (Whiskey Rebels, Free Range Chickens, Caught Stealing, etc.). That's the function of the link in the original thread.

I didn't want them either. I used junglesearch and put -domain (that's the minus sign and the word domain with no spaces) in the keyword field. It shows only those books that are not public domain or I should say not labeled as public domain. I don't know how to explain it other than the different ways I've tried already. It is doing exactly what the other link does but through junglesearch not through amazon search.
