Touch

Touch is an electrifying thriller by the author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August and 84K.



He tried to take my life. Instead, I took his.




It was a long time ago. I remember it was dark, and I didn't see my killer until it was too late. As I died, my hand touched his. That's when the first switch took place.




Suddenly, I was looking through the eyes of my killer, and I was watching myself die. Now switching is easy. I can jump from body to body, have any life, be anyone.




Some people touch lives. Others take them. I do both.
