The first switch happened just before I died. As my life ebbed away, I reached out to my killer. Suddenly I was seeing the world through his eyes. The more I switched, the easier it became. I am Kepler. And I could be you. Touch is the breathtakingly original new thriller from the author of The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August - a novel selected for the Richard and Judy Book Club, Waterstones Book Club and BBC Radio 2 Book Club in 2014


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.
