How about "A Dangerous Man" by Charlie Huston, it's one of those 9 free downloads.

If the books are not available for download via MR, then they cannot be nominated.

it was decided long before January to have the February 2009 book be one available from MR. The time to suggest a change was back when it was first brought up. I do think it's a little late for that now.

We were all discussing this earlier in the thread. We were concerned about the lack of contemporaries available on MR (with the exception of our local authors, and there is a month for that coming up). So we expanded the playing field for just this month. Although it is my hope we pick a book available on MR.

There are currently three excellent books with three nominations each.
May I suggest we stop this silly arguing and just vote? |

I second the Foreign Correspondent, and also suggest a shorter abstract (from an Amazon Review by Marco Antonio Abarca):
