Summary

Chris Olsen has a good life. He has a regular job, a wife and daughter who love him, and a promising future. By any measure this is a good life, but it isn't his first. When a troubling encounter with a homeless man triggers something inside Chris, memories of his past lives bubble to the surface. A lost Chinese boy, a wailing grandmother, and a love so powerful it never left his soul--all compete for his attention. Chris sinks deep into the seedy and seductive world of "grave robbers," vagrants known for their ability to relive their former lives. But can he find closure to a tragic episode in his past without losing himself in the process?
