Incarnateby James Kahn

Two men find themselves caught up in a complex web of reincarnation and murder. While Vic learns that his fiancée is being stalked, Guy’s dreams of a 19th-century murder suggest scenes from his own previous life, in which he was the killer. The parallel stories trace Guy’s search of an old Irish manor for clues to his former existence and Vic’s attempts to rescue his fiancée. The connection of these twisted tales leads to a shocking surprise that can prevent a series of murders if Vic and Guy manage to unravel the dreams’ true meaning and the reincarnation labyrinth that binds them together.
