Summary

An astonishing story of a man who is murdered in Italy, but is immediately reincarnated as a baby being born in London at the time of his murder.

The child grows up with nightmares of his own murder and eventually hunts down his killer using clues from his dreams.

Along the way he meets the fiancée from his previous life and proves to her that he is her long lost lover.

Together they find his killer and dig up his own body to retrieve the valuable item that was buried with it, which is also the cause of his reincarnation.

The ending is a gut-wrenching scenario of gothic proportions. But with one final twist.
