Giveaway - The Scarecrow (audiobook) - Michael Connelly


Michael Connelly is one of my all time favourite mystery/thriller authors.

And thanks to the generosity of The Hachette Book Group I have three audiobook copies to offer for giveaway!

What's it about? From the publisher:

"Forced out of the Los Angeles Times amid the latest budget cuts, newspaperman Jack McEvoy decides to go out with a bang, using his final days at the paper to write the definitive murder story of his career. He focuses on Alonzo Winslow, a 16-year-old drug dealer in jail after confessing to a brutal murder. But as he delves into the story, Jack realizes that Winslow's so-called confession is bogus. The kid might actually be innocent.Jack is soon running with his biggest story since The Poet made his career years ago. He is tracking a killer who operates completely below police radar--and with perfect knowledge of any move against him. Including Jack's."

Listen to an excerpt of The Scarecrow.

Read an excerpt of The Scarecrow.

Ends Friday June 19th at 6 pm EST.Please ensure I have a way to contact you, either by email or through your blog. Good luck and check back tomorrow for yet another giveaway!
