tate Senator Paul Gianis is a candidate for Mayor of Kindle County. His identical twin brother Cass has been very recently released from prison, having served a twenty-five year term for the killing of his girlfriend, Dita Kronon. Not exactly the brother Paul would choose. Sure not to win him votes.
S
o starts the tale of the brothers and their disparate lives. An ex-FBI agent, Evon Miller, and private investigator Tim Brodie, start a re-investigation of Dita's death. Their work casts doubt on Cass's trial and these slender threads start to weave together deceptions that didn't rise to the surface at the trial.
