In a page-turning mix of science fiction and noir thriller, New York City detective Adam Kamen is on the trail of the serial killer Henry the Eighth, so named for his penchant for decapitating his victims. Kamen is a familiar character—hard-boiled, independent, a guy with a tough exterior but emotions that run deep. A head injury in the midst of the investigation gives Kamen unusual powers and leads to an exploration of trepanation—deliberately drilling a hole in the skull—as well as introducing him to a beautiful psychiatrist who develops an interest in his case.

Books are great for children for a variety of reasons, but one excellent thing is that books can be found to read to help out in just about any situation.
Books are often thought of as something to read at bedtime or on a rainy day. Books can offer much more than that though. Board books, picture books and readers can be utilized to help children understand different situations, learn about the world, learn how to deal with their emotions, and offer comfort when needed.
