I finished this book in 6 hours of straight reading and it was such an entertaining, interesting very original and extremely well written story. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a heart racing page turning adventure. ( )"The first time Jude Allman died he was 8 years old". Isn't that a great opening line? From the intrigue generated by this statement the story continues, as the reader learns bits and pieces about Jude's bizarre brushes with death--three so far--and also about his current life as a paranoid janitor in hiding. Jude has tried to escape the media and the curious by changing his name to Ron and taking a low profile position as a school janitor. But a mysterious visitor shows up at his doorstep one day, right around the time that some bizarre things start to happen to him. He starts to have wierd visions, and he starts to break out of his paranioa. But even more troubling is that several children in the area have disappeared--and likely been murdered--and Jude's visions may be able to lead him to the killer. T.L. Hines has crafted a real pageturner, full of plot twists that had me fooled as to who the real killer was going to be. He reminds me of Ted Dekker for his ability to combine heart racing suspense with religious themes. I look forward to reading more from him in the future. A story about a man that has died three times and always comes back. Due to no privacy he hides away from the public until children are murdered in his hideaway area and he knows how to find the children, but it will bring him publicity again. Beautifully written. 0.040 seconds to build listing
