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 only buy print volumes if the paper is made from pulp taken from the Giant Sequoias, ancient California Redwoods, or any species logged in a rainforest.

I really plan to severely cut back on my DTB. The only ones I plan on buying are ones that are truly special to me, and those I REALLY want to read but are not out on kindle. For those I want to read but are not available, I figure I can wait.

Slightly off topic, what are people's experiences for waiting for books to become available on Kindle. Does pushing that request button do anything? Has anybody miraculously seen their book appear Kindleized?

Some books seem to be appearing overnight... others in a week or so... and still others, not yet!
