Description
Two men, born decades apart, are caught up in a complex web of reincarnation and murder. Chicagoan Vic learns his fiancée is being stalked — just as his last wife was, before she was killed. And Los Angeleno Guy begins having dreams of a 19th century murder in Ireland — dreams he's convinced are from his own past life — in which he was the killer.
Guy also learns he has a brain tumor, which his doctors tell him is the cause of these delusions. But he believes the tumor is the karmic result of his past-life murders, and if he can only find out what it was he did back then, and to whom, he can atone —and maybe the tumor will go away.
What ensues are the parallel stories of these two men — Guy hunting down clues to his past life in an old Irish manor, where a young bride is living with a man whose ancient family portraits look strikingly like the murderer in Guy’s dreams; and Vic, trying to catch the man who’s stalking his fiancée before she gets killed, like his first wife.
How these seemingly unrelated dramas connect leads to the shocking surprise that turns everything on its head — and may stop a series of murders, if those involved can just unravel the true meaning of the dreams, and the reincarnative labyrinth that binds them all.
A Note From the Publisher
Advance Praise
"A thriller, driving right through this life and into the next, Incarnate wraps past and present into a ride that had me from page 1. Incarnate is a take on reincarnation that's both wholly original and deeply terrifying!" — Josh Conviser, author of Echelon
"Incarnate is a mesmerizing journey across oceans and lifetimes exploring the most heinous crimes of the heart and that even greater mystery of who we are. It is a kaleidoscope of clever storytelling, an amazingly addictive novel that refuses to be put aside." — Monte Schulz, author of Naughty and The Big Town
"I haven't seen twists like this in a reincarnation thriller before. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, and the payoffs were both dark and unexpected." — Marc Scott Zicree, author of The Twilight Zone Companion

Given To Me For An Honest Review
This book is one to read. If you like suspense and thriller, this is for you. Once I began to read I could not put it down. James Kahn did an excellent job with it. It deserves more that 5 stars. I highly, highly recommend this book to all.
Elizabeth M, Reviewer
I don't know how to describe this book without using words you see printed on the front of all thrillers; gripping, action packed, intense. Somehow simply using words like that after seeing them so many times feels like taking the easy way out in spite of the fact those words accurately describe Incarnate.
I requested this upon seeing the word reincarnation, a favourite of mine, and loved how the plot twisted it about. Reincarnation was there, but it wasn’t a book about reincarnation. Just like it had the theatre without being about the theatre and plenty of great medical detail without being a medical thriller. The characters were well placed in the story, each strong and relatable. Whether I felt they were good or bad, they earned those feelings from me.
Kahn lures you in, as I’ve found in his other works as well, so deeply that when the plot releases a big moment your senses are wide open. So many big revelations, ‘bad things’ and oh my God surprises gave me cause to flinch inside and reread the passage to relive the moment again.
Many thanks to the publisher for the opportunity to experience this book.

This book is definitely one to read if you like suspense and/or thrillers. I have to admit though that there were times in the beginning time periods were not clearly defined at the beginning of the book and there was a lot of medical terminology used. Overall, once the characters and time periods were clearly defined it was solid read and the twists and turns were riveting.
