I can't take credit for the idea for this blog post. I saw it first over at Gerard Brennan's
Crime Scene NI. Those who know Declan Burke's wonderful blog,
Crime Always Pays, or have read any of his earlier novels,
Eightball Boogie,
The Big O, or
Crime Always Pays, are really hoping to get the word out on his soon to be released
Absolutely Zero Cool. I haven't read it yet, but I did pre-order it at Book Depository dot com, and I can't wait. Adrian McKinty, another fantastic crime writer and
blogger says it follows in the tradition of
The Third Policeman by Flann O'Brien, and if it's even half that book it will be worth every penny and then some.
But if you're short on pennies, why not hop on over to the
contest Mr. Burke is throwing on his blog to win a free copy? All you have to do is post your favorite 'story within a story' novel and leave your email address for a chance at a free one. (Don't worry--you'll figure out the contest when you get there.)
