Win a Free Copy of “Palos Verdes Blue”

We said, after last week’s contest to win free copies of Jeremy Duns’ new Free Agent, that Rap Sheet followers who missed out on that book could take solace in the fact that another contest was in the offing. And here it is.

Through the generosity of its author, we now have three free signed copies of John Shannon’s new Jack Liffey novel, Palos Verdes Blue, to give away to astute Rap Sheet readers. To enter our competition, all you have to do is correctly answer one simple question:

John Shannon was born in Detroit, but after World War II his family moved to a major seaport neighborhood in Los Angeles. What’s the name of that neighborhood?

Send your response, along with your mailing address, to: jpwrites@wordcuts.org. And be sure to write “John Shannon Contest” in the subject line.

Submissions will be accepted between now and midnight on this coming Saturday, May 16. The winners will be chosen at random from among the correct entries, and their names announced on this page the following day.

This contest is open to readers from anywhere in the world, not just those living in the United States.

One final thing: Have you won one of The Rap Sheet’s contests within the last six months? Then why don’t you sit this one out, and let others enjoy the spoils.
