The Double

For fans of beautifully written, psychologically probing crime

"A completely engrossing read!

When the clinic's director, Anton Gessen, tries in vain to unearth the missing pieces of Vidor's life, he suspects his reluctant patient is not who he appears to be. After one of the patients at the clinic goes missing, Gessen has reason to doubt Vidor's self-proclaimed innocence. But what is he hiding, and who might be next?
