DESCRIPTION:
--Dick Adler. It turns out to be a case of "send in the clones": they were all part of a bizarre experiment when they were kids, and now they're up to their doppelgangers in a deadly confrontation with scientists and politicians who want to keep the whole thing quiet. Elizabeth "Tizzie" Tierney, is a dead ringer for Julia, his own lost love, he--and we--know that something very spooky is going on. And when Skyler sees that Jude's girlfriend, Dr. When tabloid journalist Jude Harley and a distraught young man known only as Skyler meet on the streets of New York City, they could be identical twins--except that Skyler is a few years younger
Soon, all three come together on the trail of a scientific experiment more audacious than they could have conceived--and so secret that none of them may be allowed to survive.* John Darnton is the winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the George Polk Award for his journalism. In New York City, an expert on twins stumbles upon a case that hits stunningly close to home for her.

In a small New York town, a journalist observes a corpse with its fingerprints burned off

The plot, ("Cloned humans serving as rep
