Conor is a Scottish race car driver who experiences a major car accident during a race. As he recovers, he becomes involved in a murder mystery involving a past lover, Mercedes. She leaves her entire estate to him, and it surprises him as it is not only is sizable, but they shared only one memorable night together. He travels to a different country to resolve the estate and makes new friends along the way.As Conor recuperates, he hallucinates through his dreams and is caught between two worlds: the present as he knows it and the past which he believes he is reincarnated from. He then begins to believe the people around him are players in his past life.My heart breaks for Conor in the end. His past life was filled with so much turmoil, and he loses Mercedes in the end the first time around, too. The woman he loved in a previous life was a descendant of an angel and a mortal, therefore she is immortal herself. Conor is stuck in a constant state of longing with Mercedes knowing they will never be together.The author projects both worlds well. The dialogue and imagery felt real, and when Conor goes back in time in his dreams I felt a part of that world. The storytelling was superb, and I look forward to reading future stories by this author.
