BAD TWIN is a character-driven mystery, in the manner of Elmore Leonard-plenty of attitude, some edgy humor, a good dose of danger and suspense.

More DescriptionBAD TWIN is a character-driven mystery, in the manner of Elmore Leonard-plenty of attitude, some edgy humor, a good dose of danger and suspense. The protagonist is a thirty-something P.I. who is a new version of an old breed-a righter of wrongs, someone driven to get to the bottom of things-but whose usual work consists of dreary cases of malpractice fraud and such. Now he has his long-awaited chance to put his courage and ideals to the test. The story turns on the disappearance of one of a pair of twins, adult scions of a rich but tragedy-prone family. The missing twin has spent his life daring people to hate him, punishing himself endlessly for his screw-ups and misdeeds. The other twin-our P.I.'s client-has a practical reason for wanting his brother found: their crazy father, in failing health and with guilty secrets of his own, will not divide the family fortune until both siblings are accounted for.
