I’m offering up 15 digital copies of my novel HOT SINATRA for those who’d care to then post an honest review on Amazon and, if you are so inclined, Goodreads.

If you think you can read and review the book within a couple of weeks, feel free to drop me a line at axelhow@gmail.com and as soon as the files are available (sometime before the 15th) I will forward them on. I’m planning to offer up “Thank you” packages to all those who participate and complete their reviews by Feb. 10, 2013 – probably to include custom artisan bookmarks, tricks n’ treats, Coffin Hop and Hot Sinatra swag!

Moss Cole is a private detective, the kind you thought only existed in old movies and afternoon reruns. He’s smart, talented, sometimes even charming. You’d think he could find a better gig than carrying on his grandfather’s legacy as a ‘Private Dick.’

Cole is out of money, out of ideas, and out of his league. That’s why he’s stuck looking for a stolen Sinatra record… a record that may be just a figment of an old man’s imagination.

Of course, if that were true, Moss wouldn’t have so many people busting down his door.
A vivacious redhead, a foul-mouthed Irish rock star, and a whip-smart little girl only complicate the job, when all Cole wants is a good cup of coffee and some Hot Sinatra.

If only he can stay alive—and in one piece—long enough to find it.

Debuting January 15 from Evolved Publishing and sure to rock your world – HOT SINATRA – the new book from Axel Howerton
