 | The Great Blue Yonder by Alex Shearer
You'll be sorry when I'm dead. That's what Harry said to his sister right before he jumped on his bike and was hit by a truck. And now he is just that--dead. One minute he was minding his own business, speeding along, the next he was on the Other Side, in a strange land where the sun is always setting but never quite disappears, time doesn't seem to pass, and people wander about seemingly without direction, waiting to move on to the Great Blue Yonder. Harry's not quite sure how he fits in on the Other Side, and, moreover, he wishes more than anything that he could take back what he said to his sister before he died, or at least say he was sorry. And he wouldn't mind being able to say good-bye to his parents, his classmates, and everyone else he left behind. Then he meets Arthur, a boy who's been dead for 150 years and knows how to get back the living world, though only as an invisible observer. With Arthur's help, Harry discovers that perhaps there is a way he can make peace with his sister and--more important--with himself, though going home again isn't quite what he expected. This moving, humorous, life-affirming story will resonate with readers of all ages for months and years to come. AUTHOR: Alex Shearer

 | Monster by Johnathan Kellerman
After solving a case that involved a hated female professor in THE CLINIC, Dr. Alex Delaware is once again asked by LAPD detective Milo Sturgis to find the killer of a despised woman in this grisly thriller. Dr. Claire Argent, a reclusive and harsh staff psychologist at the Starkweather State Hospital for the Criminally Insane, was recently found miles from the asylum with her throat slit and her eyes cut out. While any one of her patients might be seen as mentally capable of committing such a horrific crime, their steel-tight incarceration provides them with ironclad alibis. But that doesn`t stop Alex from suspecting Ardis Peake, a psychotic who almost never leaves his room and, aside from the occasional mumble concerning an upcoming murder, rarely speaks. Aggressive probing leads Alex to details about Dr. Argent`s past, which surprisingly include connections to Ardis. Could this nonfunctional madman be the monster Alex is looking for?
