Haunted by a twenty-year-old murder of a beautiful young painter, Lucian
Glass keeps his demons at bay through his fascinating work as a special
agent with the FBI's Art Crime Team. Currently investigating a crazed
art collector who has begun destroying prized masterworks, Glass is
thrust into a bizarre hostage negotiation that takes him undercover at
the Phoenix Foundation -- dedicated to the science of past-life study --
where, in order to maintain his cover, he agrees to submit to the
treatment of a hypnotist. Under hypnosis, Glass travels from ancient
Greece to nineteenth-century Persia, while the case takes him from New
York to Paris and the movie capital of the world. These journeys will
change his very understanding of reality, lead him to question his own
sanity and land him at the center of perhaps the most audacious art
heist in history -- the theft of a 1,500-year-old sculpture from the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. International bestselling author M. J.
Rose's The Hypnotist is her most mesmerizing novel yet. An adventure, a
love story, a clash of cultures, a spiritual quest, it is above all a
thrilling capstone to her unique Reincarnationist novels, The
Reincarnationist and The Memorist.
