Synopsis
Diana Stoving sits in a showroom waiting for her car to be fixed. Leafing through the paper she reads the news item that will change her life. Eighteen-year-old Day Whittacker has been "age regressed" by his teacher, and claims to be the reincarnation of a hell-raiser named Daniel Lyam Montross, who died twenty years earlier. Montross was Diana's grandfather. Together, Day and Diana set out to explore the life and investigate the death of Montross. They journey through ghost towns, becoming amateur archaeologists, naturalists, sleuths, historians and, inevitably, lovers. Always, the presence of Daniel Lyam Montross is with the pair, leading them in their quest. Dead, he is fated to die again. Is one or both of them also fated to die?
