This is IT: your own host Seth Harwood's newest novel IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, which you've heard right here on the WAV, will be available on Kindle and in paperback starting May 7th!

Easiest way to get your copy is right here at Amazon.com in either Paperback (YES!) or for Kindle (You know it!) or... for a few extra bones, you can get an inscribed paperback copy via Borderlands Books [Gotta Have It!] by following the instructions HERE.

Check it, check it! Here's the full description of the book:

FBI agent Jess Harding treks back to Anchorage to hunt down a sadistic killer who's reemerged from a five-year hiatus--a killer who has already slipped her grasp once before. The endless days of an Alaskan summer can't thwart the fiend's plans as he slashes his way through the rural community, where everyone knows your name and always distrusts the outside. With the help of Oscar Linstrom, an old colleague who wants to be more than friends, Jess attempts to immerse herself in the area's culture, leading her to a strange rural village inhabited by Russian Old Believers hell-bent on protecting their way of life. Even the locals are outsiders to the Old Believers, and Jess needs a safehaven in the glare of daylight because a blood-stained message left at the scene of the most recent murder says Jess is no longer the hunter--but the hunted.
