Will Klein lost the love of his life and his brother in the same moment. On October 17, eleven years ago, Julie Miller was found brutally strangled in the basement of her house in the township of Livingston, New Jersey. On that day, Will's brother, Ken Klein, became the subject of an international manhunt accused of the crime. He has not been seen since. Will has tried to get on with his life in the intervening years. He has a beautiful new girlfriend, Sheila, and a job working with the homeless. But when his mother reveals that Ken is still alive on her deathbed and shortly afterwards Sheila disappears, the cracks start to show in his landscape again. But it is only when he finds that Sheila herself is wanted for a savage double-murder that his life actually starts to fall apart.

Good read for airplane, beach, etc. Interesting storyline that touches on the nature of identity and the long-term impact of trauma on people's behavior.

A book might not be what one describes as "literature" but if a book entertains, keeps the reader involved, develops the characters and plot and resolves dilemas satisfactorily, the read was worth it. That's true with this boo...
"The truth is, we are mere animals, organisms, even, slightly more complex than your basic paramecium. You die, you're gone. It was pure megalomania to think we humans are somehow above death, that we, unlike any other creature, have the ability to transcend it. In life, sure, we are special, domi...
