  Ashley Smith, Studentin der Kunstgeschichte aus Sacramento, Kalifornien, wollte die Weihnachtstage während ihres Auslandsjahrs in London eigentlich allein verbringen. Erst die kurzfristige Einladung ihrer Kommilitonin Emma Chapman führt sie nach Starvewood Hall, dem Landsitz der Familie in Clevemoor in den Cotswolds. Ashley ist fasziniert von dem festlich geschmückten Herrenhaus, dem Feuer im Kamin, den vielen Gästen, dem guten Essen – und auch von Emmas attraktivem Bruder. Doch gegen Adam ermittelt die örtliche Polizei: Er soll ein Mädchen brutal ermordet haben. Außerdem treibt ein mysteriöser Fremder sein Unwesen in dem Wald zwischen Starvewood Hall und dem örtlichen Pub … Mehr als dreißig Jahre später werden die Ereignisse jener schrecklichen Festtage wieder aufgerollt: Was 1989 in einem kleinen englischen Dorf begann, findet viele Weihnachten später sein grausames Ende in New York.

  Special Agent Vera Taggart walked away from a promising career as an artist to join the FBI, and she impresses her new colleagues with her eerie ability to divine conclusions from the grisliest crime scenes. Taggart’s first assignment is a decades-old cold case centered on a cult of suicide bombers known as the Sons of Elijah who believe they’ve been reborn hundreds of times. It seems like a low-risk assignment until a bomb tears apart a crowded restaurant. The Sons of Elijah have returned—and now it’s up to Taggart to stop their modern-day reign of terror. Taggart’s investigation begins with Dr. Seth Jacobson, a renowned psychiatrist who claims to help people remember past lives through hypnotherapy. Jacobson had treated two of the Sons of Elijah’s founders before they’d gone on to commit a series of horrific murders. Desperate to understand how these ordinary patients could have taken such a violent path, Taggart agrees to undergo similar treatment with Jacobson. Through her hypnosis sessions, Taggart comes to suspect the Sons of Elijah are targeting a high-tech government laboratory that could expose the group’s greatest secret with a controversial experiment. To save millions of innocent lives, she must come to grips with the shocking truth about the cult and her own puzzling role in its timeless mission. The fate of humanity rests on her ability to determine which threats are real and which exist only in her mind—and to decide whose side she’s really fighting for.
