Free copy of Sick City by Tony O'Neill will be given away August 19th!

The kind folks over at publisher Harper Perennial have given us an extra copy of the novel Sick City by Tony O'Neill to give away August 19th, when he'll be joining us. Here's a description of the book:

Jeffrey has nowhere to go when Bill, his sugar-daddy boyfriend, croaks. But before he sets off into the bright glare of LA, he’s sure to grab a few parting mementos: cash, a gun, some drugs, and one ancient, metal film canister that contains a treasure greater than all the rest combined: a tape taken from the scene of the Sharon Tate murders that supposedly features a drug-fueled orgy. Jeffrey stashes the goods and promises himself to get clean before selling the merchandise.

Randal is the fallen scion of a great Hollywood family. His habit and his rehab bills have long been overlooked by his indulgent father, but with him now dead and gone, he’s left to the zealous sanctimony of his younger brother, who has enrolled him in Clean and Serene, a celebrity treatment center run by Dr. Mike, America’s TV doctor. It is there that Randal meets Jeffrey.

A plan is hatched by the new friends to unload the sex tape, but things do not go even remotely as planned. In the end, lives are lost, habits resumed, and careers squashed. It even snows in Las Vegas in this fast-paced, tightly plotted junkie page-turner from Tony O’Neill.
