Author Description

Belinda Johansson is a freelance critic and novelist trying to have it all and not really coping. Her house and domestic affairs are in chaos. Deep in research for her definitive account of the doppelganger in classic gothic fiction, she fails to notice the echoes of these ghoulish tales disturbingly close at hand. For not only is the cleaning lady taking over her life, but the identity of her husband, Stefan, is in question. Is he a harmless geneticist from Sweden, or actually a cunning clone? Why is the cleaning lady's previous employer having a breakdown, and what on earth has a rat circus got to do with any of this.
