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.

A little off topic but - when I download books to my computer they are automatically saved to a folder that I must have set up years ago. Now most of my downloads are ebooks and I don't remember how to get Vista to change the folder it automatically saves downloaded files to. As I seem to be downloading a lot of books from all over, I'm getting tired of having to go to this old folder and copy them over to the ebook folder. Does anyone know how to change the folder that things automatically get downloaded to? Thanks.

Hmmm, I changed my default to the desktop because I was always forgetting where things downloaded to. I went to "tools" and then "options". From there a window pops up and on the "main" tab you can change the destination. Hope this helps.

Edit...oops, I'm using XP so I don't know if there is any difference and also this is in Firefox, not IE that I'm talking about.

What is "tools". Where do you access that? Thanks for the help. I don't see anything in Vista that says "tools".

As stevene9 says, you set the default download folder in your browser, not in Vista itself. Look for the Tools menu in the browser.

This is what I learned when downloading files. You select the option folder to where you download the file using the program you used to download it. If its a music program, it has a option to where you store your files as well as with browsers and other programs.
