Thanks to the kindly folks at Ebury Press, five lucky Bookgeeks will be getting stuck in to Harry Dolan’s new crime novel, Bad Things Happen, recently reviewed on Bookgeeks by Rob Cox.

David Loogan is leading a new and quietly anonymous life in a new town. But his solitude is broken when he finds himself drawn into a friendship with Tom Kristoll, the melancholy publisher of the crime magazine Gray Streets – and into an affair with Laura, Tom’s sleek blond wife. When Tom offers him a job as an editor, Loogan sees no harm in accepting. What he doesn’t realise is that the stories in Gray Streets tend to follow a simple formula: Plans Go Wrong. Bad Things Happen. People Die. Then one night David’s new boss phones him in a panic, asking him to come to his house immediately. And bring a shovel…

To win a copy, all you have to do is answer the following question: Which Michigan city is the setting for Bad Things Happen?
