Olympics-mania is at fever pitch! What better way is there to get into the Olympic spirit than a book set around the London Games?
J.C. Martin releases her debut novel, crime thriller Oracle, today! To celebrate, she's holding a month-long Oracle Olympics Blog Tour, with tons of games and prizes, including a possible grand prize of an iPad3 (for more details, visit J.C.'s blog)!
And it all kicks off with today's Opening Ceremony!
Read on to find out how you could win a signed paperback copy of Oracle right off the bat!
So what is Oracle about, anyway? Here's the blurb:
Oracle
With London gearing up to host the Olympics, the city doesn't need a serial killer stalking the streets, but they've got one anyway.
Leaving a trail of brutal and bizarre murders, the police force is no closer to finding the latest psychopath than Detective Inspector Kurt Lancer is in finding a solution for his daughter's disability.
Thrust into the pressure cooker of a high profile case, the struggling single parent is wound tight as he tries to balance care of his own family with the safety of a growing population of potential victims.
One of whom could be his own daughter.
Fingers point in every direction as the public relations nightmare grows, and Lancer's only answer comes in the form of a single oak leaf left at each crime scene.

Hi Len, new follower via the blog tour!
ReplyDeleteWow, this is quite an impressive book launch. I am seeing it everywhere today and the search for hidden letters is cool. I just purchased the kindle edition and am excited to read J.C.'s debut. It is my favorite genre. We are heading to the beach in Florida this weekend and I think I am going to buy the paperback as well. Sometimes I just like to have a real book in my had when I read.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Melissa! Hope you enjoy it!
DeleteHello, Len. It's good to meet you. I'm one of the parade of nations on this tour and thought I would say hello. Take care.
