Karl Tanzler was frequently visited by the spirit of an ancestor that told him his soul mate would be a dark haired, exotic beauty. What the ancestor must have left out was that Karl would not meet this woman until later in life when he was working as a radiology technician and she was dying from TB. This is a disturbing story of the lengths one man goes to keep his supposed soulmate with him for the rest of his physical life.
