"Sharon McCone is a well known investigator who finds that someone is impersonating her and threatening those she cares about. This is one of the latest in a long series of wonderful books."
Debbie, Resident Scholar

"Sharon McCone, the main character, is being harrassed by a woman who assumes her identity. A smaller plot involves the bizarre behavior of a long-time co-worker and friend, who won't reveal the reasons behind his strange actions. The author is one of the best in the female private eye genre."
Eileen, Resident Scholar
