The Duplicate: 'Deadlier than the male'

By Gene Ligotti

As in most suspense thrillers, the clash between good and evil is prominent. In The Duplicate, you will not only find good fighting evil, but find evil clashing with evil, with great wealth as the cause. Greed is prominent and for this setting I have created massive wealth held by a young husband and wife. Their love for each other is great having learned the hard way in previous marriages. The woman gives birth to a son at the same time a servant on the estate also gives birth to a son. They look alike since they come from the loins of the same father. They look alike but the personalities are quite different, thus the first of the good and evil becomes evident. These two boys grow to manhood and both meet a psychopathic antagonist who is the key to the balance of the story. A plan to switch the half brothers and bring one into prominence and control over all the wealth is set in motion. The plot to mislead is a good one and involves deception, plastic surgery, and murder. Of course there is a love story as as a sub plot and because of that love, good has a chance against evil. As usual, I have placed ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.==
