I'm giving away five paperback copies of Joe Finder's novel Vanished...

Category Joe Finder Vanished giveaway
A picture named M2

If you follow this blog and my reading habits, I don't think it'll surprise anyone that I'm a big fan of Joe Finder and his Nick Heller character.  I was fortunate to receive a box in the mail the other day with five(!) paperback copies of the novel Vanished, which is the first Nick Heller novel by Finder.  Publishers Weekly describes Vanished as follows:

Known for his stand-alones, bestseller Finder (Power Play) introduces Nick Heller, an elite corporate intelligence specialist and former Special Services badass, in this exciting series opener. After a frantic call from his 14-year-old nephew, Gabe, Heller returns home to Washington, D.C., from a job in California to find Gabe's mother in a coma and Gabe's stepfather, Roger, who is Heller's older brother, vanished without a trace. Though the brothers have been estranged since their father's much-publicized securities fraud conviction years earlier, Nick vows to protect Gabe and his mother and unravel the mystery of Roger's alleged abduction. The investigation leads him to some disturbing revelations about Roger, not the least of which involves a powerful—and dangerous—private military company. Written in staccato chapters that are emotionally supercharged and action packed, this thriller will more than satisfy adrenaline junkies and have them guessing until the very end.

I also did my own review on Vanished that you can find here.

I'll be giving away the five copies on Saturday morning, June 11th.  To enter, just leave a comment on this blog post with your name and email address.  The email address doesn't show up to anyone but me, and I won't be using it for anything other than to contact you for a mailing address.  I'll pick five random comments to choose the winners.

My thanks to Joe Finder and his team that made this giveaway possible, and good luck to everyone who enters!

UPDATE: Using random.org to generate random numbers between 1 and 14, the winners are:

Chris Martin
Sam Sawatzky
Dave Harris
Kitty Elsmore
Doni Molony

Thanks for playing, everyone... I'll be sending out emails to you to get your shipping address

Gravatar Image6 - That one is on my to read list

Gravatar Image7 - Hi Duffbert,

Looks interesting, & I'm looking for a new writer to excite me. I'll read the earlier review (&catch up on the job postings) when I'm back on the office line tomorrow, but I'm hoping there's some politics in there as well. Combine the two & if you get it right, I'm hooked. Best in that business has to be O'Brian with his Aubrey-Maturin series.

Gravatar Image8 - Sounds like a great series; added to my amazon wishlist (used to store reminders to myself of things recommended as much as anything) in case I'm not one of the chosen few.

It is so good to see your tireless work on reviewing etc rewarded Duffbert; well deserved.
