Tell me – do you feel like you’re losing time?
Sure you do. Everyone does.
At two o’clock you sit down to read a book and then, what do you know, it’s five in the afternoon and you’re only two pages further in. Perhaps, as you walk home through familiar streets, you grow distracted, and when next you wrench your concentration back to where you’re going you find that you’re already there but the hour is late – so much later than you think.
Kepler was once a normal human being, living day by day, seeing the same features in the mirror each time they looked. But one night, beaten and not far from death, skin meets skin and a switch occurs. Suddenly Kepler is looking through the eyes of the killer himself, staring down at a broken and ruined body lying in the dirt of the alley.
Now a ghost of sorts, Kepler lives in hosts for anywhere from a few seconds through to a lifetime, coming to know some of them intimately, like lovers, and often leaving them a nice sum of money as thanks.
There are many ways to catch a ghost sitting in the body of a loved one. Basic questions – name, age, father’s name, mother’s name, university – can be answered by any well-informed inhabitant, but it takes a matter of minutes to probe a little deeper.
But someone is trying to kill Kepler, killing past hosts along the way, and now Kepler must race to find the truth; wearing the body of uncooperative, would-be assassin, Nathan Coyle.
