Synopsis

A DOUBLE NIGHTMAREWith her agency going great guns, Sharon McCone is known as one of the best detectives in the business...until her reputation is threatened by an impostor. The woman's resemblance to McCone is uncanny. Her knowledge of McCone's life is chilling. And with lover Hy Ripinsky away on business, McCone is alone as the double insidiously sabotages McCone's career, invades her home, and leads her into a deadly game of cat and mouse through San Francisco's underworld. Now, with professional detachment giving way to blinding rage, McCone is fighting for her life. But her very essence is also at stake...as a hunger for personal justice overrides her fiercely held ethics and lets loose a primeval urge for revenge.

Her side characters are rich, and as per usual, the story quickly picks up the pace as it rolls along, one event sequencing smoothly into the next. At first, I found the plot unrealistic, as Sharon is a top-notch inv......more

Goodreads review by Alton on April 29, 2021

Someone has stolen Sharon's identity, running up credit card bills, impersonating her in public, and breaking into her home. We are drawn into the mystery because of the diabolical nature of the impersonator who is as skilled as a CIA operative in bugging her home, finding information about her, and......more

This was unnerving, chilling, and creepy in a way that I enjoyed. Someone has been pretending to be Sharon around town, who looks somewhat like Sharon from a distance. Sharon is first told by a friend who encountered the other woman at a cocktail party with a name tag identifying her as Sharon, pret......more
