Dan Harary's newest work of fiction, FIVE, tells the tale of a serial killer in 1870's Europe who becomes a famous actor on the Hungarian stage, while secretly murdering women at night.
After the killer's death, he becomes reincarnated 100 years later - his soul having entered the body of a young man in Boston who quickly becomes the biggest pop music star in the world. Unbeknownst to him, however, is that in his past life, he was a serial killer - and this terrible proclivity had followed him into his latest incarnation in the 1970s as well!
