Synopsis

Someone is impersonating a female detective in this twisty thriller from a New York Times bestselling author.

It starts when Sharon McCone's acquaintance tells her that someone was pretending to be the private eye at a party. Sharon investigates further and discovers that the imposter has no qualms about mixing business with sex. Even more alarming, the faux McCone is cancelling Sharon's credit cards, invading her home, and making frightening calls to family members.

But when Sharon is almost arrested for a crime committed by the imposter, the determined P.I. pulls out all the stops in her search for a criminal hitting far too close to home.

"An excellent private eye tale structured by a master of the form ... moves smoothly and entertainingly from the first whiff of plot to the big finale." —San Francisco Sunday Examiner & Chronicle

From the Back Cover

A DOUBLE NIGHTMAR94E

With 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.
