Weekend Giveaway: THE ETERNAL NAZI

Thanks to publicist Wiley Saichek, I'm giving away two copies of a compelling true crime book. U.S. and Canadian residents, to enter email G_SO at YAHOO dot COM with the subject line "ETERNAL Giveaway". Entries valid Friday, March 28 through Monday, March 31.

I interviewed Chris as part of his Federales blog tour.
