Doubles

Claire Gray will risk anything to find out why her sister died. Kay was her identical twin, her double, and Kay's death interrupted a reconciliation between the sisters after years of separation. Before long, Kay's "accident" starts to look a lot like murder. Claire backtracks her sister's recent life through the art worlds of coastal Maine and Montreal. At first she assumes she knows everything important about Kay. But Claire finds Kay's fiance frightening. Kay's ex-husband hostile. Even Kay's best friend is guarded. Everyone who knew Kay during their years apart tells Claire of a person she would never recognize as her twin. And Kay's choices during their estrangement are disquieting. Did one of them lead to her death? And is Claire as blameless as she thought? The more Claire learns about Kay, the more questions she ends up with. Did Kay understand her own conflicts? Did she resent the closeness that meant so much to Claire? Above all, what was Kay afraid of? At last Claire realizes she's been looking to the wrong people for answers. But by then she's put forces in motion that threaten her own survival.
