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.

  Today we're launching our next contest: the Kindleboards Egg Hunt!

  Here's how it works:

  We've hidden ten Easter Eggs in various posts throughout our boards. We haven't buried them deep - you'll find them in fairly recent posts, but scattered throughout our various boards and sub-boards.

  1. When you find an Egg, click on it. A window will pop up that gives you a code word. Remember that code word!

  2. When you've found all ten eggs, send those ten code words in a PM to "contest" (here's a link to do that). And, reply to this thread to let everyone know that you found all 10 eggs!

  On Easter Sunday, we'll draw three winners at random from all correct entries. Each winner will receive a $25 Amazon gift certificate. Happy hunting!

  PS Between now and the drawing date, we *may* post little hints in this thread, about where an egg is.

Winners:
1 - tbd
2 - tbd
3 - tbd

Linda...I for one am pretty upset you changed your avatar.  I've been stalking you on here ever since you added Kevin Costner so you're safe now.... I'm looking at your new avatar for a hint and I'm not feeling it!
