It's another wild ride for Jack Lockwood, a Behavioral Investigative Adviser, a BIA--also known as a criminal profiler, a psychologist who's called in to assist police in various circumstances. He is also an author of true crime novels. Doppelganger is book two of the Jack Lockwood Mystery series. I'd read book one, Rock 'n' Roll Suicide, and knew I just had to read more from Author, Geoffrey West.Doppelganger starts with bang, literally, when a woman runs out of the woods and directly into the path of Jack's moving vehicle. Unable to stop in time, the impact throws her over the hood of his car. From there, the book takes off like a bullet when Jack finds himself being  stalked by contract killers, hired by a crime boss who wants Jack to stop publication of his latest true crime novel, Hero or Villain?, which in itself leads to a BIG mystery. Then Jack falls in love, but could the woman he finally gives his heart to, be a killer?All I can say is that it's a page-turner and you'll have to read the book to find out.As, with Rock N' Roll Suicide, Doppelganger pacts a lot of action between pages and with each page West ratchets up the tension, tighter and tighter. The characters and scenes come alive with such vividness, that you'll feel thrown into all the action and danger of each scene.There are lots of twists and turns, which is a signature of this author, and more red herrings than in a well-stocked pond. All of which will keep you guessing until the very end. I can assure you that if you enjoy mystery, murder and romance with high-octane action--Doppelganger is the book to read!
