    When a missing person's case becomes a hunt for an active serial killer, Detective Kaitlyn Kruse must use her greatest asset: a supernatural ability to remember her past lives. But the killer may be closer to home than she's willing to believe. 
     
     
     
    When a local woman's body is found in a shallow grave on one of Seattle's pristine hiking trails, Detective Kaitlyn Kruse and her partner Joe Riley are under pressure to find her killer as swiftly as possible. But more than one body is recovered at the site, and—alarmingly—they all look a bit like Kaitlyn. 
     
      
     
    Fortunately, Kaitlyn has a secret weapon. She dreams of her past lives, and their memories are always eager to help her solve the crime at hand. But Kaitlyn's dreams are getting more desperate every night, like one of her past selves is trying to tell her something . . . and a shady black sedan is tracking her every move. It may be too late to stop the inevitable—but Kaitlyn is determined to get justice for the dead before she becomes one of them. In this rousing crime debut with a touch of the supernatural, the first in her Detective Kaitlyn Kruse series, Karoline Anderson proves she's got a knack for the thrill.

    During the course of a single day in 1569, Patik's and Meno's lives transformed from a routine of poverty and convention to lives filled with promise and adventure. On that day, a datu's grandson killed their family and stole their land, and also on that day, Spanish explorer Miguel Lopez de Legaspi arrived in Panay. 
    In the years that followed, Patik signed onto a Chinese junk where he forged a hardened work ethic that took him all the way to becoming the region's most powerful mariner and trader. 
    Meno established himself in the newly formed Spanish government. He soon met a charming and beautiful female aristocrat with whom he learned the intricacies of dealing with its cutthroat bureaucracy. Together, they manipulated the powerful Augustinian friars into supporting their plans. 
    Patik and Meno forged alliances while accumulating the necessary wealth and influence to regain title to the lands they'd lost, and much, much more. This is their story of hardship, moral strength, love, risk, and reward.
