      Zvláštneho agenta FBI Luciana Glassa prenasledujú spomienky na dvadsať rokov starú vraždu bývalej priateľky, nádejnej mladej maliarky Solange. Glass sa celkom ponorí do detektívnej práce, čím drží na uzde svojich démonov z minulosti, a nekompromisne ide po krku šialenému zberateľovi umenia, čo nevedno prečo ničí cenné obrazy. Vyšetrovanie zavedie Glassa k nadácii Fénix, ktorej členovia sa venujú štúdiu minulých životov. Lucian sa do tejto bizarnej inštitúcie infiltruje pod falošným menom, súhlasí s hypnotickými sedeniami, a tak sa dostáva do starovekého Grécka, kde ako sochárov učeň prijme objednávku na Hypnosovu sochu. Jej existencia v súčasnosti však zamieša karty nielen v Glassovom vyšetrovaní, ale aj v osobnom živote.

      Fotograf Josh Ryder utrpí zranenie po výbuchu bomby v Ríme. Keď sa zotaví, zistí, že má vidiny, ktoré ho prenášajú do Ríma na konci 4. storočia a do Ameriky v 19. storočí. Vyhľadá pomoc v Nadácii Fénix, kde sa zaoberajú prevteľovaním a spomienkami na minulý život. Spolu s Malachaiom Samuelsom z nadácie odchádza do Ríma, kde sa našla starodávna hrobka, v ktorej sú zrejme pozostatky jednej z posledných rímskych vestálok. V hrobke by sa mohli nachádzať aj bájne kamene pamäti, ktoré dokážu vyvolávať spomienky na minulosť. Josh spozná v pochovanej žene vestálku Sabinu, do ktorej bol kedysi ako pohanský kňaz Julius zaľúbený a čakali spolu dieťa. Do hrobky však vnikne zlodej, ktorý ukradne kamene pamäti a postrelí profesora Rudolfa, ktorý pracuje na vykopávkach.

      Keď bola Meer Loganová dieťa, prenasledovali ju spomienky na iný čas a iné miesto, ktoré vždy sprevádzali slabé úryvky ťažko zapamätateľnej hudby. Teraz sa ruka minulosti znova načiahla v podobe čudného listu, ktorý ju vyšle na cestu do Viedne, aby odhalila záhadu, kým bola v predošlom živote. Každým krokom sa dostáva bližšie k tomu, aby sa rozpamätala na spojenia medzi tajnou spoločnosťou ľudí veriacich v prevteľovanie, stratenou flautou spájanou s Ludwigom van Beethovenom a novinárom Davidom Yalomom, ktorý až pridobre chápe, ako minulosť vplýva na budúcnosť. David pozná stratu z prvej ruky - terorizmus je realita, ktorá ho stála rodinu. Videl každé riešenie, ktoré sľubovali odborníci na bezpečnosť na celom svete - a videl, že každé z nich zlyhalo. Teraz, v koncertnej sále vo Viedni, má v pláne prinútiť svet pochopiť cenu týchto zlyhaní v jednom násilnom čine. Pretože tí, čo sa nevedia rozpamätať na minulosť, sú odsúdení na to, aby ju zopakovali...

      In the latest series entry from Rose ( The Delilah Complex ) to feature psychiatrist Dr. Morgan Snow, a string of murders is plaguing Manhattan, and sexy sex therapist Snow's new patient—a powerful judge with a reputation for being fair and an addiction to Internet pornography—is at the top of the suspect list. While Morgan works with patients addicted to real-time Web cam fantasy girls, someone is killing off the online girls and broadcasting their slow, grisly murders on their own Internet feeds. On the case is Det. Noah Jordain, who maintains a shaky romance with Snow. Soon the investigation is giving their already strained relationship a good rattle, pitting Morgan's professional duty against Noah's. Though creepy letters from the killer to "Dearest" break up the first-person narrative with stabs of dread, this psychological thriller is less thrilling but more thoughtful than the typical genre exercise. As in Rose's first two series entries, Morgan charms as a sex shrink who's seen it all, and the grisly details and bold sexual content blend nicely with themes of family, love and friendship to form a solid whole.

    • Reincarnazione

      La legge dell'eterno ritorno

      Una bomba a Roma, un flash di luce bluastra e il mondo del fotografo Josh Ryder esplode. Da quell'istante, niente sarà più lo stesso. Pensieri frequenti carichi di emozione, di intensità e di ricordi. Ma ricordi di chi? Sono antichi e violenti. Lontani, eppure così vividi. Josh, perseguitato da questi flashback di vite precedenti, vaga in cerca di risposte sul mistero della reincarnazione, per imbattersi infine negli scavi della professoressa Gabriella Chase: il rinvenimento di una tomba antica, circondata da un potente mistero che minaccia di mescolare passato e presente. I morti chiamano i vivi e una tragica vicenda della Roma del IV secolo rischia di ripetersi ai giorni nostri. Un'autrice che centra sempre il bersaglio, un thriller senza esclusione di colpi, ricco di atmosfera e di suggestivi richiami a fascinose schegge di passato. Sulla fortunata scia del Codice da Vinci, una corsa a perdifiato che catapulta il lettore oltre i confini del tempo e dello spazio, sino a un epilogo mozzafiato. Una lettura indimenticabile in cui il thriller si amalgama alla perfezione alla fiction storica, con risultati sorprendenti.
