What Is The Child About?

The premise of The Child without spoilers.

Simon Sachs is a ten-year-old boy suffering from a terminal illness who claims to have been a serial killer in a past life. He insists he can prove his extraordinary claims and leads lawyer Robert Stern to the locations of victims, people who died long before Simon was born.
