And meet the latter's voluptuous wife, whose portrait on the cover may or may not be a true likeness. She also happens to be the double of someone else's missing spouse, a coincidence that raises deadly questions about identity. In the world you are about to enter no surface remains static for long.In Meet the Wife Clive Sinclair takes the reader on a scintillating and decidedly modern journey through love, jealousy, death and the afterlife. The dazzled reader won't know whether to laugh or cry
