by Bill Roorbach
ON THE DECEMBER INDIENEXT LIST!
You can buy Life Among Giants at AMAZON, BARNES & NOBLE, INDIEBOUND, and POWELL’S BOOKS.
At seventeen, David “Lizard” Hochmeyer is nearly seven feet tall, a star quarterback, and Princeton-bound. His future seems all but assured until his parents are mysteriously murdered, leaving Lizard and his older sister, Kate, adrift and alone.
In a mansion across the pond from their Connecticut home lives the world’s greatest ballerina, Sylphide, and her rock star husband, whose own disasters intersect with Lizard’s—and Kate’s—in the most intimate and surprising ways.
Over the years that follow, Lizard and Kate are obsessed with piecing together the motives behind their parents’ deaths, returning time and again to their father’s missing briefcase, his shady business dealings and shaky finances, and to Sylphide, who has threaded her way into Lizard’s and Kate’s lives—much more deeply than either had ever realized. From the football fields of Princeton to a stint with the NFL, from the elaborate dances at the mansion to the gourmet restaurant he opens, it only takes Lizard a lifetime to set things right again.
“Life Among Giants is a wild ride of a novel, deliciously visceral, psychologically twisted, furiously engaging.” —Pam Houston, author of Contents May Have Shifted

Would love to read this!
The cold fall nights have arrived and this sounds like the perfect book to curl up with in front of the fire. I would love a copy.
Sounds like a perfect fall read!!
Thank you, thank you for extending the giveaway. While I don’t live on East Coast, Hurricane Sandy has caused major problems here in Michigan, too. The rain and wind has resulted in many, many power outages. As a result, because my computer is a desktop, I can’t use it with no power. Today I have access to a different computer.
I’d like to add to my comment above that, as of last night, my computer is again working. Many others in Michigan are still without power but are expected to be back online tonight.
Also, if I win this book I will certainly write a review and post it to various sites on the Internet such as goodreads.com, librarything.com, powells.com, bookmovement.com, gather.com, and amazon.com.
