Blogoversary giveaway #9

Today's giveaway is for First The Dead by Tim Downs, another book that is more for men than women. A disclaimer on this one also: Published by Thomas Nelson, but I wouldn't classify it as Christian fiction, but it is a great read. Book 3 in a series, but they can be read in any order.

When a national disaster strikes, "first the living" is the rule.



Unless you're the Bug Man.

When Hurricane Katrina strikes New Orleans, forensic entomologist Nick Polchak signs up to help with the recovery effort. He is known as the Bug Man for his knowledge of insects and what they can reveal about the dead. The government's mandate is clear--rescue the living first, recover the dead later.


But something is very wrong in the toxic soup-bowl of post-Katrina New Orleans.

Someone is using the cover of disaster to kill...hiding the victims of murder in the same watery grave as the victims of Katrina.


It's a tale only the dead can tell. But no one besides the Bug Man is listening.

To enter, leave a comment. All winners will be drawn on March 16.

Well, I'm a woman, but I like police procedurals and murder mysteries, so I'm going to enter. As long as it's written from a Christian worldview, I will enjoy it. Thank you for the giveaway.
