Juxtaposing Giorgio (Paperback or Softback)

A gripping novel of identity, deception, and the dangerous cost of reinvention.
When a grisly murder leads to the conviction of a young woman who swears she’s innocent, Detectives Mascher and Cardozo sense something deeply wrong with the case. Their instincts prove justified when a shocking discovery reveals a man who looks exactly like the victim’s alleged accomplice—except he’s alive, well, and living under a different name.
Across the country in Riverside, California, Giorgio Di Napoli is rebuilding his life with a tragic past he repeats whenever asked: a grieving financial adviser who lost his wife and son and has fled New York for a quieter existence. The town embraces him. Friends welcome him. Women are drawn to him. But Giorgio’s story is not what it seems—and neither are the people who have become entangled in his new life.
As the detectives push against a system eager to close the file and Giorgio maneuvers through a web of secrets, false identities, and dangerous alliances, two narratives race toward a collision that will expose the truth… and the price of escaping it.
A sharp, character-driven thriller, Juxtaposing Giorgio explores how far a person will go to bury the past—and how far others will go to uncover it.
