Giveaway: Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell... To start off National Reading Group Month!

The Sopranos meet ER in Beat the Reaper by Josh Bazell

Congratulations to Jonnie, Amanda & Cheryl who each won a copy of Beat the Reaper! And a BIG Thank you for EVERYone who joined in on the fun by entering the giveaway, Tweeting about it and Blogging about it! THANKS! Come Back for more fun soon!

Dr. Peter Brown is an intern at Manhattan's worst hospital, with a talent for medicine, a shift from hell, and a past he'd prefer to keep hidden. Whether it's a blocked circumflex artery or a plan to land a massive malpractice suit, he knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men.

Pietro "Bearclaw" Brnwna is a hitman for the mob, with a genius for violence, a well-earned fear of sharks, and an overly close relationship with the Federal Witness Relocation Program. More likely to leave a trail of dead gangsters than a molecule of evidence, he's the last person you want to see in your hospital room.

Nicholas LoBrutto, aka Eddy Squillante, is Dr. Brown's new patient, with three months to live and a very strange idea: that Peter Brown and Pietro Brnwa might-just might-be the same person ...

Now, with the mob, the government, and death itself descending on the hospital, Peter has to buy time and do whatever it takes to keep his patients, himself, and his last shot at redemption alive. To get through the next eight hours-and somehow beat the reaper.

Spattered in adrenaline-fueled action and bone-saw-sharp dialogue, BEAT THE REAPER is a debut thriller so utterly original you won't be able to guess what happens next, and so shockingly entertaining you won't be able to put it down.

Today is the first day of National Reading Group Month, and what better way to start the celebration than with a giveaway of a book worth plenty of discussion for any group! Beat the Reaper is a fun romp through the Hospital! Filled with great characters, the mob and plenty of action! You can read my full review next week, but for now, let's have some fun!
