Robert and his ex-wife l lost a baby to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome 10 years ago. Robert is depressed and still grieving while Sophie has moved on, remarried and is now mother to twin girls.
An ax-girlfriend who works at a local hospital contacts Robert one evening, sounding frantic. She demands that he meet her ... she has a client for him and its imperative that he see this client NOW.
Much to his surprise, the client turns out to be Simon Sachs .... he's 10 years old and he says that he killed a man 15 years ago. Simon is also dying and wants a lawyer to find the body of who he killed so that he can die in peace.
And then things get really bizarre!
There are more than one body just waiting to be discovered.. and most of them were killed before Simon was born. So how does Simon know where these bodies are and exactly how they were killed? Do you believe in reincarnation? Or is this some kind of major hoax?
This is a fascinating read. So many twists and turns leave the reader questioning everything. Simon is such a great little boy ...he's full of wonder and awe at the world and he's like this little adult in a boy's skin. Robert is very cleverly written, portrayed so well as a grieving parent who gets caught up in things that seem impossible to him.
Throw in a bad cop .... a group of pedophiles .... a religious fanatic .... and you're in for a roller coaster ride you won't forget.
Highly recommended to anyone who likes a really good mystery or psychological thriller.
