The reincarnationist - M. J. Rose

A bomb in Rome, a flash of bluish-white light, and photojournalist Josh Ryder's world exploded. From that instant nothing would ever be the same.

As Josh recovers, his mind is increasingly invaded with thoughts that have the emotion, the intensity, the intimacy of memories. But they are not his memories. They are ancient- and violent. A battery of medical and psychological tests can't explain Josh's baffling symptoms.

And the memories have an urgency he can't ignore- pulling him to save a woman named Sabina- and the treasures she is protecting. But who is Sabina? Desperate for answers, Josh turns to the world-renowned Phoenix Foundation- a research facility that scientifically documents cases of past life experiences.

His findings there lead him to an archaeological dig and to Professor Gabriella Chase, who has discovered an ancient tomb- a tomb with a powerful secret that threatens to merge the past with the present. Here, the dead call out to the living, and murders of the past become murders of the present.
