A Duke/Syracuse contest - Congrats, RPS!

[-jk]

We're really pleased to announce a contest for the Duke-Syracuse game: We'll be giving away a signed copy of John Hart's new book, The Hush, to whomever comes closest to getting the final score right.

Syracuse fans, you can participate too (but we hope you lose both the game and the contest ).

John has published a number of best sellers, including Iron House, Redemption Road, and The King of Lies. He’s been on tour with John Grisham lately and Grisham is a big fan of his work.

Here’s what the Richmond Times-Dispatch had to say about The Hush:

"A testament to friendship, an exploration of family, a meditation on slavery and its legacy, a lament on the prison of the past ― and a grisly and gritty ghost story ― The Hush displays Hart at his best. With richly imagined characters and depth of ingenuity, Hart forges a thoughtful and disturbing novel, one that delivers shocks in his story and joy in his storytelling. The author, who splits his time between North Carolina and Virginia, builds on his trademark take on the literary Southern gothic; the result is his most powerful work yet, one that plants a flag at the intersection where William Faulkner and Stephen King meet in unexpected harmony.”

To participate, simply post your prediction in this thread. We'll be in touch with the winner after the game.

One entry per member, your first counts. In case of a tie, we will implement a tiebreaker.

Thanks, and good luck!

For those that missed it, John Hart is Julian's (and my) cousin, Duke alumni brat and faculty grand-brat.

He's a Dukie to the core!
