A New Giveaway! An Edna Buchanan Ebook Bundle

Dubbed "the queen of crime" by the Los Angeles Times, Edna Buchanan was one of the first female crime journalists in Miami, reporting for the Miami Beach Daily Sun and The Miami Herald, winning the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for General News Reporting "for her versatile and consistently excellent police beat reporting." In 1990, she turned her hand to writing mystery novels, with her debut standalone title, Nobody Lives Forever.

She followed that up with two different series, one featuring Sergeant Craig Burch of the Miami Police Department's Cold Case Squad (three books) and another featuring crime reporter Britt Montero, with Miami, It's Murder, nominated for an Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1995. Her tenth book in the Montero series will be published in 2015, but Diversion Books is making the first five of the Montero books available in ebook form.

In honor of the occasion, Diversion is offering a giveaway of all five of the ebooks to one lucky In Reference to Murder reader, including Contents Under Pressure; Miami, It's Murder; Margin of Error; Act of Betrayal; and Suitable for Framing. All you have to do is send along an email to [email protected] with "Edna Buchanan Giveaway" in the subject line, and you'll be entered into the random drawing. The winner will receive a redemption code to claim from the publisher to claim their prize.

But hurry - the deadline for entries closes at the end of Monday, October 6.
