Publisher Description
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.

APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Claire North—author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August—revisits the idea of reincarnation in this dark and original thriller. Told in short, suspenseful chapters, Touch is the story of Kepler, a human soul who hops from body to body through skin contact. When the vulnerable Eastern European prostitute whom Kepler’s been using as a vessel is murdered, the race to figure out the assassin’s motivations begins. Writing with elegant wit, North reveals the high costs of her protagonist’s transient state, surprising us at every turn.
