The Library

2nd
book in the Christoper Snow Series
Publisher's
Review: "The
night is a kingdom of predators, in which every hunter is also the
hunted." The night is also the favored realm of Christopher Snow,
whose XP (xeroderma pigmentosum) renders him extremely vulnerable
to all forms of light. When an old flame's son is abducted, Snow
and his faithful dog Orson track them to Fort Wyvern, an abandoned
military base--and the site of genetic research experiments gone
awry. To recover the boy, Snow and his friends must unearth Wyvern's
darkest secrets."

Publisher's Review
Christopher Snow is the best-known resident of 12,000-strong Moonlight
Bay, California. This is because 28-year-old Chris has xeroderma
pigmentosum (XP)--a light-sensitivity so severe that he cannot leave
his house in daylight [and] cannot enter a normally-lit room . .
. Chris's natural element is the night, and his parents, both academics,
chose to live in Moonlight Bay because in a small town Chris can
make the nightscape his own--roaming freely through the town on
his bike, surfing in the moonlight, exploring while most people
sleep.
His
life is filled with the fascinating rituals of one who must embrace
the dark. It is only at night that he is truly free. And then he
witnesses a murder in the night--a murder only he can solve.
Each month we will feature a book suggested to
