First published 2010
Bennie Rosato discovers that sharing a face with her identical twin Alice Connolly means nothing when Alice's twisted nature drives her to attempted murder. Bennie finds herself trapped underground, buried alive by the sister she thought she understood. Above ground, Alice steps seamlessly into Bennie's existence, fooling colleagues at work and even sleeping with Bennie's boyfriend to escape her own catastrophic mistakes. Alice believes she has eliminated the only obstacle to her fresh start, but she miscalculates Bennie's will to survive and her capacity for revenge. As Bennie fights to stay alive long enough to reclaim her stolen life, she confronts a disturbing realization about her own character. The woman she believed herself to be may not exist. The darkness she attributed solely to Alice might live within her too. By the story's end, Bennie faces an impossible battle against an enemy who knows her every move because that enemy is herself.
