Drood By Dan Simmons
Drood is partly based on events from the end of the life of famed author Charles Dickens. Drood was the name and nightmare that haunted Dickens for the last five years of his life.

Dickens and his mistress were secretly returning to London in 1865 when their train hurtled over a gap in a trestle; all the first-class carriages except theirs were smashed to bits in the valley below. Dickens descended to the valley to confront the dead and the dying, and his life was forever changed. In the years that followed, he all but gave up writing, becoming obsessed with crypts, cemeteries and the precise length of time it would take a corpse to dissolve in a lime pit.

Then he began writing The Mystery of Edwin Drood, which would have been his last great work – if he had finished it.

The Turnaround By George Pelecanos
It happened in 1972 on a hot summer day. Three teenagers drove into an unfamiliar neighborhood and forever changed six lives. Thirty-five years later, two survivors are responding in different ways – one reaching out and opening a door that could lead to salvation and the other, with a burning need for retribution, seeking any way to claim reparation.
