Shades of Simon Gray

Seventeen-year-old Simon lies in a coma, finding his space and time overlapping with that of a man who was lynched over 200 years ago, while a member of the cheating ring he has been helping wonders if their actions have caused the plagues assaulting their New Jersey town. Simon Gray is every parent's ideal teenager--or is he? When he crashes his car into an ancient oak tree, Simon is trapped in a coma. But Simon's accident unleashes strange events--such as conversations with a man hung for murder 200 years before from the same tree--and forces sinister secrets to come to light.
