However, this book is really about Ben Wade, one of the detectives on the case. While the victims of the serial killer greatly affect Wade, who gives his all to catch him, it is the apparent suicide of a young teenager that really shakes up his world. Much more than just a search for a killer, Shadow Man is about living in the shadows of what happened in the past.

MASS MARKETAnother Indie FavoriteMy Last Continent: A Novel, by Midge Raymond (Scribner, $16) “Suspense and love intertwine against the starkly beautiful backdrop of Antarctica in this wonderful debut. Deb is a researcher devoting her life to the magnificent penguins that populate this remote corner of the world, where the ice-choked waters set the stage for the tragic collision of a supersized cruise liner and mountainous iceberg. When Deb discovers the man she loves is aboard the doomed ship, the poles of her world shift, as she must now focus on rescuing the one person who has saved her from her self-inflicted solitude. Raymond does a masterful job building the tension while the dramas of both the past and present unfold.” —Luisa Smith, Book Passage, Corte Madera, CA

EARLY & MIDDLE GRADE READERS YOUNG ADULT

= Debut
For Teen Readers Saints and Misfits, by S.K. Ali (Salaam Reads/Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, $18.99) “In an ideal world, Saints and Misfits wouldn’t need to be an important tent-pole book of Muslim representation; it would be one of many books about Muslim teens doing all sorts of things. And then we could just talk about how it’s a funny, sharp, feminist book that tackles real issues with grace. It’s just really good. Read it, for that reason and more.” —Anna Kaufman, DIESEL: A Bookstore, Santa Monica, CA

For Ages 9 to 12 The Girl With the Ghost Machine, by Lauren DeStefano (Bloomsbury USA Children’s Books, $16.99) “The Girl With the Ghost Machine is quite a touching story. For children who are working through a loss, this book is like a good friend who has been through the same and understands just how you feel. The characters are well developed and the relationships ring true. I truly enjoyed this book. I lost my father when I was young and this book helped me to play the ‘what if ’ game with Emmaline, her father, and her friends and to become engrossed in their ideas of a ghost machine.” —Dwi Grandison, Hockessin Bookshelf, Hockessin, DE
