Haunted by his inability to stop the murder of a beautiful young painter twenty years ago, Lucian Glass keeps his demons at bay through his fascinating work with the FBI's Art Crime Team. Investigating a crazed collector who's begun destroying prized masterworks, Glass is thrust into a bizarre hostage negotiation that takes him undercover at the Phoenix Foundation dedicated to the science of past–life study. There, to maintain his cover, he submits to the treatment of a hypnotist.

Under hypnosis, Glass travels from ancient Greece to nineteenth–century Persia, while the case takes him from New York to Paris and the movie while the case takes him from New York to Paris and the movie capital of the world. These journeys will change his very understanding of reality, lead him to question his own sanity and land him at the centre of perhaps the most audacious art heist in history: a fifteen–hundred–year–old sculpture the nation of Iran will do anything to recover.

The Memorist

M.J. Rose

As a child, Meer Logan was haunted by "the dreads", frozen memories filled with elusive music. Now the hand of the past has reached out again. She receives an anonymous envelope containing a childhood drawing of an elaborate box that Meer recognises, along with an auction catalogue that identifies the box as an eighteenth–century gaming box.

Determined to unlock the mystery of who she once was, Meer travels to Vienna to find the box. With each step, she comes closer to remembering the connections between a clandestine reincarnationist society and to David Yalom, a journalist who knows all too well how the past affects the future.

David is known internationally for his coverage of the Middle East; terrorism is more than a story for him – it's a reality that cost him his family. He's watched the failure of every solution promised by security experts around the world. Now, in a concert hall in Vienna, he plans to force the world to understand the cost of those failures in a single act. Because those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it...

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.

Ryder walks away from the explosion uninjured, but not unmarked. 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. Medical and psychological tests can't explain his baffling symptoms.

Desperate for answers, Ryder discovers the Phoenix Foundation, an organisation determined to delve into the distant past to uncover secrets. When an ancient tomb, said to contain the body of the last vestal virgin of Rome, is uncovered, the archaeologist leading the dig is brutally attacked and a priceless relic stolen from the site.

Now, suddenly, Ryder's memories of past and present begin to merge– he has seen the relic before, in another time and another life. And he knows that this object holds the key, not only to his past, but to the world's future.

Whoever has this relic possesses unimaginable power. They will stop at nothing to keep it. And Ryder will stop at nothing to get it back.
