DEATH'S APPRENTICE
WONG, DAVID
Skylight Books – Hotlist Fall 2012
Built on top of the gates of Hell, Grimm City is the Devil’s capital on earth. A place where every coffee shop,
nightclub and shopping mall is the potential hunting ground for a ghost, a demon, or any of the other
supernatural entities that inhabit the Grimm City world. Death’s seventeen-year-old apprentice, Nathaniel, comes
into his own as he leads an uprising against the Devil with the help of a half-dead wraith and a giant hit-man.
What results is a bloody, brutal revolt that calls upon the loyalties of both the living and the dead.

DEATH'S DOOR
BENN, JAMES R.
An American monsignor is found murdered at the foot of Death's Door, one of the five entrances to Saint Peter's
Basilica. Wild Bill Donovan, head of the OSS, wants the killing investigated. The fact that the Vatican is neutral
territory in German-occupied Rome is only one of the obstacles Billy must overcome. First is a harrowing
journey, smuggled into Rome while avoiding the Gestapo and Allied bombs. Then he must navigate Vatican
politics and personalities—some are pro-Allied, others pro-Nazi, and the rest steadfastly neutral—to learn the
truth about the murdered monsignor. But that's not his only concern; just a short walk from the Vatican border is
the infamous Regina Coeli prison, where Diana is being held. Can he dare a rescue, or will a failed attempt alert
the Germans to his mission and risk an open violation of Vatican neutrality?

DELUSION IN DEATH
ROBB, J.D.
It was just another after-work happy-hour bar downtown, where business professionals unwound with a few
drinks . . .until something went terribly wrong. And after twelve minutes of chaos and violence, eighty people lay
dead. Lieutenant Eve Dallas is trying to sort out the inexplicable events. Surviving witnesses talk about seeing
things—monsters and swarms of bees. They describe sudden, overwhelming feelings of fear and rage and
paranoia. When forensics gives its report, the mass delusions make more sense: It appears the bar patrons
were exposed to a cocktail of chemicals and illegal drugs that could drive anyone to temporary insanity—if not
kill them outright. But that doesn’t explain who would unleash such horror—or why. And if Eve can’t figure it out
fast, it could happen again, anytime, anywhere. Because it’s airborne. . . .
