Dark Tides Competition

In celebration of Manx Halloween publishers Faber and Faber have given us five copies of Chris Ewan's brand new thriller Dark Tides to give away in a competition.   To win a copy read the blog post and answer the question below -

When Claire Cooper was eight years old her mother mysteriously vanished during Hop-tu-naa, the Manx Halloween. At fourteen, Claire is still struggling to come to terms with her disappearance when she’s befriended by a group of five teenagers who mark every Hop-tu-naa by performing dares. But Claire’s arrival begins to alter the group’s dynamic until one year a prank goes terribly wrong, changing all their futures and tearing the friends apart.

Six years later, one of the friends is killed on Hop-tu-naa in an apparent accident. But Claire, now a police officer, has her doubts. Is a single footprint found near the body a deliberate taunt?

As another Hop-tu-naa dawns, bringing with it another death and another footprint, Claire becomes convinced that somebody is seeking vengeance. But who? And which of the friends might be next? If she’s to stop a killer and unlock the dark secrets of her past, Claire must confront her deepest fears, before it’s too late.

For a chance to win one of five copies of Chris Ewan's new novel Dark Tides answer this easy question.  What is the name of Manx Halloween?  

The answer can be found in this post. Send  the answer along with your name, email address and your postal address to shotscomp@yahoo.co.uk.  Don't forget to put Dark Tides in the subject line.  The closing date is 7 November 2014. Best of luck!
