Helen McCloy Boeken
6 juni 1904 – 1 december 1994
Helen McCloy was een Amerikaanse mysterieschrijfster, bekend om haar seriepersonage Dr. Basil Willing. Willing gelooft dat "elke crimineel psychische vingerafdrukken achterlaat die hij niet kan verbergen". McCloy verkende vaak het thema van de dubbelganger, maar bood uiteindelijk altijd psychologische of realistische verklaringen voor schijnbaar bovennatuurlijke gebeurtenissen, waarmee ze de complexiteit van de menselijke geest blootlegde.

Adam Endicott did not want Sam Joel as a husband for his young daughter, Kate. His past was sketchy and, as a reporter on a small-town newspaper, his assets were meagre. Yet when Kate is abducted by a terrorist group, Sam is able to produce a large part of the ransom. But paying the terrorists' demand does not bring back Kate. It only leads to another murder. When Sam decides to look for Kate himself he indeed finds a girl, but is it her? Can her experience have changed her this much? Is this the girl he loves, or a changeling?
