(Do Sirhan Sirhan, Charles Manson, or David Berkowitz belo...)
Do Sirhan Sirhan, Charles Manson, or David Berkowitz belong in a prison? Will John Lennon's killer or President Reagan's would-be assassin ever call a mental hospital home? Where does insanity end and criminality begin? These are questions for forensic psychiatrists. Forensic psychiarty, not a household phrase, has become important in the criminal justice system as it focuses on how the criminal defendant is handled,particularly in this increasingly violent society when so many of today's most notorious crimes seem to be committed without recognizable or sane motives.

WHAT IF SAVING THE WORLD MEANT LOSING EVERYTHING? When Eve is rescued from a horrific coach crash by her teachers, she is shocked to discover they possess super strength and speed. But what happens next is even more harrowing. In the aftermath of the crash she discovers that everyone in her life from neighbours, doctors, dentists, teachers, shop keepers and even her family and friends are actually super strength Guardians sent to protect her. They all have one thing in common, a single minded ferocity that she must be kept alive at all costs. However, she is surrounded by secrets and lies. Those in the know deny all knowledge of what happened that fateful night. Everyone else carries on as normal, seemingly unaware of the new strange world that she has stumbled against. With the help of Seth, her best friend, Eve discovers the prophecies surrounding her true identity and the super strength she too holds. With her Guardians pledged to protect her, her closest friends ready to die for her, her own hopes and dreams are put on hold whilst she battles to control the amazing powers she has been bestowed with. But those that seek to destroy her move ever closer. Will the Guardians be enough to protect her when so many are prepared to stop at nothing to see her dead? And will she be strong enough to fulfil her destiny when the time comes? A fast paced fantasy adventure for young adults. With high speed car chases, airborne fights, amazing stunts and super powered beings, this is a story of loyalty, friendship and love Praise for The Sentinel It's a book you HAVE to read, because it's incredible. An outstanding book that has left me bereft its finished. I wished I'd savoured it for longer. This book was one of those that once you started it was impossible to come away from. It was fast paced, exciting, full of suspense and action that had me gasping in shock at twists I never imagined could happen. It's a story of courage and adventure. And no matter how dark it gets, there's always love and hope. - Victoria Loves Books Blog It's really hard to find the words to describe how amazing this book is. This is definitely the best debut I've read this year! I just love this book, I want you all to read this book, in fact you all need to read this book! - Love of a Good Book Blog Holly Martin throws Eve in at the deep end, subjecting her protagonist (and readers) to a torrent of drama right from the off. - Jack Croxall (Author of Tethers and X)
