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.

      Vera Taggart, the heroine of this tense thriller from Miksa (13 Days to Die), shows enough promise as an FBI special agent trainee to get assigned to an almost 30-year-old cold case involving the Sons of Elijah, suicide bombers who believe they have been reincarnated multiple times over the centuries. When a bomb goes off in a Chicago restaurant, it appears the Sons of Elijah are back in business. Vera tracks down psychiatrist Seth Jacobson, one of whose patients, Sophie Whitestone, was once a member of the group. Vera undergoes hypnosis with Jacobson and discovers that she can possibly remember a past life in 13th-century France and that Sophie had a similar past life experience. Vera and her partner, special agent Joe Michelson, wind up in a race against time as the next potential target of the Sons of Elijah is a Department of Energy research lab, which, if bombed, could result in the loss of millions of lives. Chillingly realistic depictions of past-life memories help ground the over-the-top action. Readers will be eager to see what Miksa comes up with next. Agent: Elizabeth Winick Rubinstein, McIntosh & Otis.
