"David Harwood, a reporter in Promise Falls, New York, is
stressed out. The newspaper he works for is outsourcing jobs to India, he can't
get a solid lead on the corrupt for-profit prison moving to town, and his wife,
Jan, is struggling with a bout of depression. As a much-needed break, David and
Jan decide to take their four-year-old son, Ethan, to a local amusement park
for a day of ice cream, rollercoasters, and carefree fun. But revelry is
quickly replaced by panic when, within an hour of arriving at the park, Ethan
goes missing. Though he is soon found, panic escalates to full-blown terror
when Jan suddenly disappears. Confused and worried, David finds himself
desperately searching for any clue that could lead him to his wife — even if it
means unraveling a tangle of lies and deception that become more complicated at
every turn (Goodreads)."
The Name of the Star (Shades of London #1) by Maureen Johnson
Expect Publication: September 29, 2011
"The day Louisiana teenager Rory Deveaux arrives in London
marks a memorable occasion. For Rory, it's the start of a new life at a London
boarding school. But for many, this will be remembered as the day a series of
brutal murders broke out across the city, gruesome crimes mimicking the
horrific Jack the Ripper events of more than a century ago.
Soon “Rippermania”
takes hold of modern-day London, and the police are left with few leads and no
witnesses. Except one. Rory spotted the man police believe to be the prime
suspect. But she is the only one who saw him. Even her roommate, who was
walking with her at the time, didn't notice the mysterious man. So why can only
Rory see him? And more urgently, why has Rory become his next target? In this
edge-of-your-seat thriller, full of suspense, humor, and romance, Rory will
learn the truth about the secret ghost police of London and discover her own
shocking abilities (Goodreads)."
