Afficher les exemplaires de cette édition ISBNPaul Artisan, P.I. is a new version of an old breed -- a righter of wrongs, someone driven to get to the bottom of things. Too bad his usual cases are of the boring malpractice and fraud variety. Until now.
His new gig turns on the disappearance of one of a pair of twins, adult scions of a rich but tragedy-prone family. The missing twin -- a charismatic poster-boy for irresponsibility -- has spent his life daring people to hate him, punishing himself endlessly for his screw-ups and misdeeds. The other twin -- Artisan's client -- is dutiful and resentful in equal measure, bewildered that his "other half" could have turned out so badly, and wracked by guilt at his inability to reform him. He has a more practical reason, as well, for wanting his brother found: their crazy father, in failing health and with guilty secrets of his own, will not divide the family fortune until both siblings are accounted for.
But it isn't just a fortune that's at stake here. Truth itself is up for grabs, as the detective's discoveries seem to challenge everything we think we know about identity, and human nature, and family. As Artisan journeys across the globe to track down the bad twin, he seems to have moved into a mirror-world where friends and enemies have a way of looking very much alike. The P.I. may have his long-awaited chance to put his courage and ideals to the test, but if he doesn't get to the bottom of this case soon, it could very well cost him his life.
Troup's long-awaited Bad Twin is a suspenseful novel that touches on many powerful themes, including the consequence of vengeance, the power of redemption, and where to turn when all seems lost.
Bad Twin is a work of fiction and all names, characters and incidents are used fictitiously; the author himself is a fictional character.

Description du livre Hardcover. Etat : Near Fine. Etat de la jaquette : Near Fine. Jacket by Phil Rose (illustrateur). 1st Edition. First UK edition, first impression with full number line. Some slight edge wear to top and bottom of jacket and spine, small closed tear to bottom back jacket, corners very slightly rubbed, not price clipped (£12.99), no inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg+ copy. 258pp. 'Bad Twin', a slickly marketed tie in novel to ABC's hit television show 'Lost' that is being touted as the last novel written by a popular mystery writer who disappeared on Oceanic Flight 815, is a terrific pulp noir mystery. As a private detective Paul Artisan spends his life seeking out dark places where demons lurk. But lately he's been drifting along, taking on cases about insurance fraud or medical malpractice. Until Clifford Widmore walks into his office, and changes everything. Clifford, an adult scion to the vast Widmore fortune, needs Artisan's help. Clifford's twin brother Alexander has vanished. Although 'Zander' has alienated himself from his family in the past, Clifford believes that this time foul play is involved. The closer Artisan gets to finding answers, the more danger his life is in. He soon descends into a mirror world where friends and enemies have a way of looking very much alike. Artisan hatches a plan to uncover the truth. He sets off on a journey across the globe and, along the way, learns that the Widmore family is full of dangerous secrets. Some even worth killing for. There are numerous references to John Locke, numerology, and Purgatory, which many 'Lost' fans have speculated is actually where the show is set. The characters are all dead and working their way toward redemption. An anagram for the fictional author Gary Troup is 'Purgatory'. Quite a scarce book. N° de réf. du vendeur 009197
