Giveaway - The Turnaround - George Pelecanos
If you've never read George Pelecanos before, you're missing a really great crime novelist. Here's your chance to win a copy of his latest The Turnaround, courtesy of the Hachette Book Group.
From the publisher:
"On a hot summer afternoon in 1972, three teenagers drove into an unfamiliar neighborhood and six lives were altered forever.Thirty five years later, one survivor of that day reaches out to another, opening a door that could lead to salvation. But another survivor is now out of prison, looking for reparation in any form he can find it.THE TURNAROUND takes us on a journey from the rock-and-soul streets of the '70s to the changing neighborhoods of D.C. today, from the diners and auto garages of the city to the inside of Walter Reed Army Medical Hospital, where wounded men and women have returned to the world in a time of war. A novel of fathers and sons, wives and husbands, loss, victory and violent redemption."
Or you can read the first chapter here.

any time we win a book , we read it first and then donate it to the local library
ReplyDeleteour philosophy is that by donating, not only do we get the book, but so do many others who might not have had the opportunity to read a great author
our library is not very big (town of 800) but its brought alot of enjoyment to our family
Happy Spring!
