The Scorpion Child — Kristina O'Donnelly

This is a contemporary suspense/thriller about reincarnation that flows between California, New York and Istanbul, from yesterday to a misty tomorrow that may never dawn. It is the sequel to The Horseman and part of the Lands of the Morning Series. The heroine, Ariadne, an American expatriate novelist married to a Turk, lives in a dangerous, exotic world. There is also an American stage and screen star, Daniel Saxon, and Burhan, an advisor to the Turkish military junta. The plot is a cinemascopic reel of romance, high-stakes terrorism, sex, intrigue, and subtle undercurrents of mysticism and reincarnation, the concept of the latter put forward in a no-nonsense, thought-provoking manner.
