Congratulations to the winners of the last contest. Donna S. from Milford, CT won The Lying Game. Carol M. from Monroeville, PA will receive The Perfect Stranger. The books are going out in the mail today.

This week, I’m giving away two novels involving the police. Brian Thiem, a veteran of the Oakland Police Department himself, takes us to Oakland in Thrill Kill. Homicide detective Matt Sinclair recognizes the dead woman having from a tree as a teenage runaway he arrested ten years earlier. Sinclair and his partner son learn that many of Dawn’s clients, as well as the local and federal officials who protect them, will do anything to keep the police from digging too deep. Then, the killer goes public.

A. R. Ashworth’s Souls of Men is set in London. Elaine Hope, veteran detective inspector, is promoted to lead her first investigation. While her boss suspects an ex-military surgeon in the case of the brutal murder of a teenage girl, Hope doesn’t believe he’s guilty. When she takes over the case, she’s in charge of a bungled case, has released the only suspect, but she can pursue a new line of investigation.
