Publisher's Synopsis
A bizarre murder on Blackfriars Bridge draws Samuel Leadbetter into the seedy underbelly of Victorian London, where he stumbles upon a secret opium trade run by mysterious monks. Worse, he begins to see confusing visions of life through the eyes of others who've lived before. Soon, a bigger picture emerges, a greater danger lurks in the shadow of a long-lost age, something so powerful it could end the world in 1874, and only he stands in its way. In the present day, feckless Orlando Gibbons is the reincarnation of Leadbetter. He still faces the same powerful enemies but this time the life of Sarah, his wife, also hangs in the balance. Past and future lives collide in a chase through time to prevent disaster on a global scale. Stephen King meets Dan Brown in this gripping adventure story with a supernatural twist.
