A&E Network announced today the launch of an innovative and exclusive marketing partnership with Barnes & Noble to promote its new mystery drama series The Glades, which premieres on A&E on Sunday, July 11th at 10 PM (ET/PT).
The pilot script of the series has been converted into both a physical and digital book.

A complimentary copy of The Glades will be offered to in-store customers, while supplies last. A free copy of the book will also be shipped with BN.com orders through July. You can also download a copy of the book (in PDF format) for free to read on your PC or Mac. (Other electronic versions are also available from both the A&E.com and BN.com sites.)
The Glades is a character-driven police procedural set in the sleepy, middle-of-nowhere town of Palm Glade, Florida, and stars Matt Passmore as Jim Longworth, an attractive and brilliant Chicago homicide detective with a reputation for being difficult. When his captain wrongfully accuses him of sleeping with his wife and shoots him, he is exiled and forced to relocate. He lands in the town of Palm Glade, outside of Florida's Everglades, where sunshine and golf are plentiful and crime is seemingly at a minimum. But Longworth soon finds out this town isn't quite as idyllic as he originally thought, as he finds people keep turning up murdered. Each case pulls Longworth off the golf course and reluctantly into his element as one of the sharpest homicide detectives to wear a badge ... the book is only the beginning.
