Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Courtney W. of Loceya Spring, AL won City of the Lost. Lisa G. from Pensacola Beach, FL won The Widower’s Wife. The books will go out today.
This week, I’m giving away two books that feature journalists. The books were award nominees. Heart of Stone by James W. Ziskin is up for the Edgar for Best Paperback Original of 2016. Ellie Stone’s holiday in the Adirondacks is interrupted by murder. Two men plummeted to their deaths on the rocks near a dangerous diving pool. But, the police soon learn the men didn’t know each other. Ellie, a reporter and amateur sleuth, is caught up in an investigation involving free-love intellectuals, charismatic evangelicals, and old grudges.
Hester Young’s The Gates of Evangeline was a nominee for debut novel from the International Thriller Writers. The contemporary Gothic novel takes Charlotte “Charlie” Cates to a Louisiana plantation. After a dream shows a young boy asking for her help, she accepts a job writing the story of a boy who disappeared years earlier. She’s hoping she can prevent the death of a missing child while she’s there. She uncovers secrets of love, betrayal and murder, secrets that could put her in danger.
