V kolosální soše řeckého boha Hypna se možná nalézá předmět, který by mohl potvrdit realitu minulých životů. A tak vypukne tvrdý boj o jeho vlastnictví, bitva, která se zdaleka nevede jen v právnických kancelářích, ale třeba i takovými prostředky, jako jsou pásy s výbušninami a rukojmí. Agent FBI Lucian Glass se snaží zločincům vzdorovat a spolu s nimi snad dopadnout i vraha své dávné lásky, ale podivné vzpomínky na události, které nemohl zažít, mu to nijak neusnadňují. Může v tom mít prsty muž zvaný Reinkarnátor, posedlý touhou dokázat existenci minulých životů?
Meer Loganovou od dětství trápí hrůzné stavy. Propadá se do dávných dob a živých vzpomínek na události, jež nikdy nemohla zažít. Urputně přesvědčuje sama sebe, že je to šálení mysli, ale když na vlastní oči spatří starožitnou karetní kazetu, o níž se celá léta domnívala, že je jen přeludem z jejích vizí, všechno se začne hroutit.

Mrtvá svírá v ruce kazetu s drahokamy a zdá se, že by mohlo jít o legendami opředené “kameny návratů”, schopné dokázat realitu minulých životů. Ty však někdo vzápětí uloupí a vedoucího archeologa zavraždí. A dávní aktéři se navracejí, aby buď zopakovali, nebo napravili svá tehdejší selhání a naplnili tak neúprosný osud...
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.
Sie sind jung, sie sind erotisch, und sie sind tot: Vier Mädchen sterben qualvoll vergiftet vor laufender Kamera und mit zahlreichen Zeugen vor dem Bildschirm. Der Täter ist schnell gefasst: Der renommierte Richter Alan Leightman, süchtig nach dem Kick von Internet-Pornos, gesteht. Doch die Sexualtherapeutin Morgan Snow glaubt nicht an seine Schuld. Denn unter den Klienten ihres Instituts in Manhattan entdeckt sie eine andere Spur, die zur dunklen Seite der Liebesdienste führt. Zusammen mit Detective Noah Jordan vom NYPD kommt sie der verstörenden Wahrheit Schritt für Schritt näher. Und die Zeit drängt. Denn es gibt noch ein fünftes Mädchen, das sterben soll.
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.
