Congratulations to the winners of the last giveaway. Both books are going to California. Jeannette S. from Twentynine Palms won Irish Knit Murder. Karen M. from San Bruno will receive Murder at a Scottish Wedding. The books will go out in the mail today.

This week, I’m giving away thrillers. T. Jefferson Parker’s The Rescue explores the strength of the human-animal bond and how far we will go to protect what we love. While reporting on a Tijuana animal shelter, journalist Bettina Blazak falls in love with one of her story’s subjects—an adorable Mexican street dog who is being treated for a mysterious gunshot wound. Bettina impulsively adopts the dog, who she names Felix after the veterinarian who saved him. In investigating Felix’s past, Bettina discovers that his life is nothing like what she assumed. For one thing, he’s not a Mexican street dog at all. A former DEA drug-sniffing dog, Felix has led a very colorful, dangerous, and profitable life. With Bettina’s story going viral, some interesting people are looking for Felix, making him a target—again. Because I made a mistake in picking this book from the pile, thinking it came out last month, someone will win a copy before they can buy it. It turns out The Rescue has an April release date. My mistake! Your break!

Or you could win Kelley Armstrong’s Murder at Haven’s Rock. It’s the first in a new spinoff series from Armstrong’s Rockton series. Haven’s Rock, Yukon. Population: 0

Deep in the Yukon wilderness, a town is being built. A place for people to disappear, a fresh start from a life on the run. Haven’s Rock isn’t the first town of this kind, something detective Casey Duncan and her husband, Sheriff Eric Dalton, know first-hand. They met in the original town of Rockton. But greed and deception led the couple to financing a new refuge for those in need. This time around, they get to decide which applicants are approved for residency. There’s only one rule in Haven’s Rock: stay out of the forest. When two of the town’s construction crew members break it and go missing, Casey and Eric are called in ahead of schedule to track them down. When a body is discovered, well-hidden with evidence of foul play, Casey and Eric must find out what happened to the dead woman, and locate those still missing. The longer Casey and Eric don’t know what happened, the more danger everyone is in.
