Second Book Giveaway

This is my second book giveaway since joining the “Host a Hachette Book Group Giveaway on your Blog” group.

I decided rather than waiting several days to post my second giveaway, I’d go ahead and do it today.

Valerie and the folks at Hachette Book Group are graciously providing five (5) copies of “Exit Music” by Ian Rankin.

I haven’t read the book yet so I’m unable to post my own review, but the Hachette Group has provided a brief synopsis of it.

It's late in the fall in Edinburgh and late in the career of Detective Inspector John Rebus. As he is simply trying to tie up some loose ends before his retirement, a new case lands on his desk: a dissident Russian poet has been murdered in what looks like a mugging gone wrong.

Rebus discovers that an elite delegation of Russian businessmen is in town, looking to expand its interests. And as Rebus's investigation gains ground, someone brutally assaults a local gangster with whom he has a long history.

Has Rebus overstepped his bounds for the last time? Only a few days shy of the end to his long, controversial career, will Rebus even make it that far?

Now the rules of the contest.

The contest is only open to residents of the US and Canada and no P.O. Box addresses will be accepted.

To enter the contest, you have to e-mail me at mcbookshelf@gmail.com.  Your subject line must read, “Win Rankin Book.” Your message has to include your name and mailing address (remember no post office boxes).

This giveaway will run until Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 8 p.m. (EST).  No entries accepted after that time.

The winners will be drawn that night. I will post the winners’ names on the blog and forward the information to the Hachette Book Group, who will mail the books to the winners.

Even if you have entered the Patterson Book Giveaway, you can also enter to win the Rankin book, you just have to send separate e-mails. Good luck and enter often.
