He had to kill - and to return to do it. And return again . . . and again . . .
First he was Paul Noakes, who had learned the secret of reincarnation in the teeming slums of eighteenth-century London. For two centuries he had used his secret to return - and to kill. In England and in America, in peacetime and in war, his intent had always been evil. And now he has returned once more to London, and this time his mission is revenge - on all those who had brought him to justice in previous lives.
As news of a particularly vicious serial killer begins to spread throughout police forces on both sides of the Atlantic, Amy Halliday is brought in from the FBI computer records office to help track him down. Unbelievably, she finds that his fingerprints do match up - but to those of a dead man. And in a race against time, as the killer prepares to strike again, she realises that even death will not protect her from this man . . .
