Product Description

Product Description

So you think your body belongs to you – think again!

Jack Madigan has the perfect life. He runs a mission in the Bronx helping New York's poor and homeless, the lost souls of the city. His wife Kerry works on a campaigning newspaper. They are not rich but they are fulfilled. And they are about to have their first child.

Sadistic sociopath Ernie Mason is released from prison; the poor black kid from the Bronx brutalised by a lifetime of abuse, drugs and crime until he becomes a killer; a walking time-bomb. He gets drunk, steals a car and goes joyriding in central Manhattan.

Jack says goodbye to Kerry after a routine medical examination and she crosses the busy street.

Ernie Mason hits Kerry full on, killing her instantly and killing himself.

The bottom falls out of Jack Madigan's life. But then he is made an offer no other human being has ever received. The chance to say a final goodbye to Kerry on 'the other side'.

But there is a price to pay.

He must allow a recently departed soul to occupy his body while he is in spiritual limbo to be given one last chance of redemption.

That's when the cosmic switch clicks and a dark soul enters Jack Madigan's body.

Guess who?

The first text of this book is "BODYSWITCH a paranormal erotic psycho thriller" which startled me as I didn't think it was quite that from the description on Amazon.
Luckily (for me) it wasn't too paranormal nor too erotic, but plenty of psycho and thriller

The paranormal bit was that the protagonist visits a "half-way land" to say goodbye to his recently deceased wife. This didn't seem out of place, it seemed like a nice thought about the interim afterlife. There wasn't a lot of sex, just some encounters that mostly moved the story along. I didn't particularly like the character of the psychiatric consultant, she seemed a bit unprofessional.

This seemed a long book. It wasn't "un-put-downable" but I kept going back to it to see what happened next. It's not a masterpiece by any means, but certainly an enjoyable read with some good ideas and plots.
I will probably check out some more books by David Callinan.

Wow! This is going to be controversial. A do-gooding white guy whose pregnant wife is killed by a black criminal who kills himself in the process is given the chance to see her again beyond the grave. But he has to let some recently departed soul live again in his body until he wants to come back - if he can. And that soul turns out to be the bad black guy who wakes up as a white dude everyone loves. This is powerful stuff that grabs you by the seat of the pants with thrills, near-the-knuckle violence and sex sprinkled through it. It skirts around racial sensibilities without being preachy. The racial switchover does not have any political overtones. It's much more paranormal in the true sense of the word. Some people may find the multiracial double personality profoundly disturbing but you when both the characters in one body are condemned to an institution for the insane you suddenly feel this is actually happening. But then they are both redeemed.

I was reminded of the film Ghost by this book for some reason. Very emotional in places and well written so you really feel the grief....but there are humorous elements in there as well to make it not too heavy. Quite a web of paranormal and being in between lives and so on. Very compelling read.
