Review

'Well-wrought, plausible and unnerving' The Times 'An excellent page-turner, heartily recommended' Scotsman

Product Description

PAST LIVES is a medical thriller which explores the nightmare of multiple personality disorder uncovered by American neurosurgeon John Macandrew in one of his patients after brain surgery. His patient’s agony and the dreadful revenge taken by her husband, who wrongly blames Macandrew for his wife’s condition, brings him across the Atlantic in search of answers. His quest takes him from the windswept ramparts of Culzean Castle in Scotland to a research laboratory at Edinburgh University and from there to a remote Benedictine monastery; from Notre Dame Cathedral in Paris to Marseilles and across the Mediterranean to Corsica and Malta. Someone knows the secret of multiple personality disorder and they’d like it to stay that way. But the sinister biblical scholar, Dom Ignatius has already found it out and plans to use the knowledge for his own selfish ends – the uncovering of an eye witness to the events of two thousand years ago.

PAST LIVES was first published in the UK by Allison & Busby Ltd. in 2006.

Ken McClure is the internationally bestselling author of over twenty medical thrillers such as The Lazarus Strain, The Gulf Conspiracy, White Death and Dust to Dust. His books have been translated into twenty-five languages and he has earned a reputation for the accuracy of his predicitions. McClure's work is informed by his background as an award-winning research scientist with the UK's Medical Research Council.

A REAL CRACKER!!!! 1 Dec 2007
Format:Paperback
I have just read this and two other Ken McClure books and can't believe that this guy isn't more famous.

This is a real murder mystery in the old fashioned sense with a 'supernatural' twist - though perhaps even that choice of word can be debated!!! Are the patients suffering from some wierd brain tumour remembering past lives lived or are they suffering from a disease induced schizophrenia and how come they seem to know about things and places that occurred 1000's of years ago?

As the previous poster says, rogue priests chasing around in the hunt for some old christian artefacts leads the hero to discover some shocking goings on with fatal results!!!

This book is not only a fast paced page turner (you won't be able to put it down), but it has some unusual twists coupled with some intelligent information and scientific data that will stimulate as well as interest any reader who likes a bit thought to go with his book.

Captivating thriller 29 Jun 2007
Format:Paperback
A tense, fast-paced thriller with lives being ruined along the way. This novel is a brilliant read with interesting characters and a thrilling plot that races you through a world of revenge, lies and a battle for power.

A real page turner 27 Dec 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
I read this novel over 24 hours because, despite it being Christmas and the busiest time of year for me, I quite simply could not put it down. The main character is a neuro-surgeon who, while investigating the effects that follow from the removal of a malignant brain tumour in one of his patients, finds himself drawn into highly dangerous territories. This brilliant story line has believable characters, atmospheric settings in Edinburgh and Malta, a mad priest, some love interest and a good helping of paranormal psychology. I am certainly going to down-load more of Ken McClures novels...look out for more reviews.
