Overview

The murdered woman could have been her double. When reporter Meghan Collins sees the sheet-wrapped corpse in a New York City hospital, she feels as if she's staring into her own face. And Meghan has troubles enough already without this bizarre experience. Nine months ago, her much-loved father's car spun off a New York bridge. Now, investigators are saying that there's no trace of his car in the river, and they suspect he faked his own death. With frightening speed, links start to appear between Meghan's father and her dead lookalike. Meghan may be in danger herself, but she's determined to find the truth to the mystery. In a nightmare journey spiraling from New York to Connecticut to Arizona, Meghan finds that the truth can sometimes be deadly.

The author whose phenomenal blockbusters have sold more than 25 million copies in the U.S. writes a relentlessly terrifying novel about a reporter dragged into her family's hidden past--a chilling web of secrets and betrayals where nothing is as it seems, and the truth may be too devastating to pursue.

School Library Journal

YA-First-time readers and longtime fans will find Clark's new book a fast-paced, intricately woven tale of suspense and intrigue. Meghan Collins, newly hired TV reporter, makes a startling discovery while on assignment at a large metropolitan hospital. An unidentified young woman dying of a knife wound is rushed into the emergency ward, and Meghan finds herself staring down at a person who could be her double. She is thrust into an investigation that not only involves finding out the identity of the dead woman, but also uncovering the details of her father's puzzling death 10 months earlier. No trace of his body or car was ever found. To complicate things further, Meghan's next assignment reveals some questionable procedures at a fertility clinic in regard to in vitro fertilization of identical twins. Clark masterfully fits all the pieces together, delivering an expertly written, gripping mystery that will appeal to YAs.-Nancy Bard, Thomas Jefferson Sci-Tech, Fairfax County, VA

It's only fitting that duplicity be the theme of the tale that raises the number of Clark's novels to double digits. In it, our heroine is Meghan Collins, a young reporter who's just landed a coveted spot on network news, but her satisfaction is tempered by sadness and worry as the investigation into her father's puzzling death flounders in uncertainty. It seemed as though Collins was swept into the Hudson River in a freak accident on the Tappan Zee bridge, but there's no trace of car wreckage and no body. The insurance company won't pay up, and Meghan's grief-stricken mother, who believes she is entitled to double indemnity, is afraid that she'll loose her cherished Connecticut inn if funds aren't forthcoming. Then Meghan has a jolting experience while covering a news story at a Manhattan hospital. An unidentified young woman is rushed in, dying from a knife wound to the heart, and--there's not other way to put it--she's a dead ringer for Meghan. Who is she? Is Collins dead or alive? As Meghan turns sleuth, she uncovers some highly unethical procedures at a fertility clinic involving in vitro fertilization and--what else?--identical twins. Then she discovers evidence of her father's double life and we realize that many characters have dual identities and hidden motives. Sleek and substantial, this classy thriller will make the lists.
