Book Spotlight: Fatal Tango by Wolfram Fleischhauer & Giveway

I am spotlighting a book today called Fatal Tango by Wolfram Fleischhauer which is described as a thriller with dance as a background.  I’m not one for reading a lot of thrillers but this one really does sound good and I hope to fit it in one day.  I know many of my readers enjoy books in this genre and I like to have a variety of spotlights and giveaways out there for all of you.  I’m going to give you some information on the book and author and be sure to check out the giveaway for your chance to win one of three copies up for giveaway!

 

 

About Fatal Tango

Giulietta Battin has devoted herself to ballet, but when she decides to explore a new style of music–the tango–life as she knows it changes forever. She meets Argentinean tango dancer Damián Alsina and they begin a torrid affair, which quickly turns into a nightmare. Damián sabotages his own performance with a bizarre, improvised choreography. Giulietta follows her lover to South America, where her journey into the world of tango confronts her with the unspeakable horrors of the country’s brutal past. But denial will never silence art, and as Giulietta learns to decipher the true significance of Damián’s dance style, she finds the key to the mystery of her lover´s past and the terrifying truth that connects it with her own.

About Wolfram Fleischhauer

Born in Karlsruhe in 1961, Wolfram Fleischhauer developed a passionate interest in foreign cultures at an early age. As a sixteen-year-old, he enrolled for a year abroad at an American high-school, and later spent time in Spain and France while studying for a degree in Comparative Literature at the Free University of Berlin. He travelled to Southeast Asia and Central America and was awarded a DAAD scholarship, which took him to the mecca of literary theory at UC Irvine. Fleischhauer has written five novels which have sold well over half a million copies in Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
