Kurzbeschreibung
A uniquely terrifying thriller that breaks all of the commandments...with a vengeance.
Not since Cain and Abel have there been two brothers like...The Hancock Boys.
What if two identical twin brothers decided to share a career, a family, a wife, a life? That is exactly what the Hancock boys decided to do. They took turns playing the role of the perfect husband, father, and bestselling novelist while the other lived out his wildest fantasies. It seemed the perfect setup. But what if one of them pushed the game too far? What if there was someone out there who knew their secret?
And, worst of all, what if one of the brothers suspected the other of teetering on the edge of sanity? The Hancock boys both know their game is coming to an end. And they have the perfect plan to protect their marriage, their skyrocketing career, and their very lives. The two men must become one. But which brother is willing to make the ultimate sacrifice? And with so much at stake, can either truly trust the other?
"Simpson has a terrific story to tell and plenty of talent to pull it off."
--Chicago Tribune

Format:Taschenbuch
This is a fun book to read if you want something easy, and if you do not engage your critical faculties. It is candy for the mind, and like all candy, it can cause decay. The interesting premise carries the book.
Format:Taschenbuch
This book was one of the best thrillers in years. I am not sure why it has not been the most talked about book this year. The characters are stimulating and the suspense is riveting. It may not be literature but if you want to relax and be taken away from reality for a short time, curl up with this book.

An excellent novel of suspense!
What a great story-teller; Simpson combines dramatic action with almost literary prose. It doesn't matter that the story is free-wheeling and unlikely, his narrative style just... Lesen Sie weiter...
