The Child

My name is Simon. I'm ten years old. I'm a serial killer.

A dark, philosophically unsettling thriller that uses a terminally ill child's impossible claims of past-life serial murder to explore questions of identity, reincarnation, and the nature of evil.

Simon Sachs, a terminally ill ten year old boy, claims to have been a serial killer in his previous life and apparently he can prove it. He leads a lawyer, Robert Stern, to the locations of the bodies, who were killed long before Simon was born. Stern takes on the most compelling and mysterious case of his life.
