A boy haunts his killer before reincarnating as his son'
As TV cameras roll, a Tibetan boy lama is assassinated in Santa Fe,
New Mexico. The event is a coup for media mogul Mark Rider,
a triumph for Chinese General Xi, and a tragedy for top Hollywood
actress Susan Groves. As Susan chases the truth, she is chased in
turn, the media tracking her down to a love tryst on the English
coastline. Death happens, but it is not the end. The boy lama peers
out at media mogul Rider from the afterlife, and is born again as one
of Rider's twins. Sixteen years pass, and retribution comes.
"Goodman writes with flare and panache, and the narrative fizzes
along. Goodman's novel soars". The Times
"Such narrow, narrow confines we live in. Every so often, one of
us primates escapes these dimensions, as Martin Goodman did.
All we can do is rattle the bars and look after him as he runs into the
hills. We wait for his letters home". The Los Angeles Times
