This is the second Jack Lockwood book I've read and it is just as compulsive as the first. Likeable, mild mannered Jack writes books about real crime and real criminals which makes him the target for some very nasty and unsavoury characters who don't want their secrets revealed. If his duck and dive adventure with these individuals isn't enough, he becomes hopelessly embroiled with a girl who is not everything she seems - or is she? This question and the horrific series of crimes around which the mystery hovers leads Jack into even more nail biting and cliff-hanging situations. Cleverly crafted, Geoffrey West keeps the reader on tenterhooks till the end to find out whether the object of his affections is or isn't what he believes or wants to believe. There are as many twists and turns in Doppelanger as you can take in a Landrover in a remote Welsh mountain hideaway, and in negotiating them, Jack learns a few truths about himself along the way. This book is another irresistible page turner and one to drive you to insomnia if you don't already have it.  I'm really really looking forward to the next in the series.
