After a harrowing experience in Bosnia, war photographer Mitch Coltrane makes a vow. From now on, he will take only those pictures that celebrate life and document hope instead of despair. Then the horrors of his previous assignment return to threaten him, and Coltrane must seek refuge from the present in the past. Having uncovered an old, uncaptioned photograph of a hauntingly beautiful woman, Coltrane sets out to discover who the woman was, and why her photo was hidden in the vault of a world-famous art photographer. Soon he finds himself hopelessly obsessed with the woman in the photograph and slipping into a maze of deception and treachery. Surrounded by illusions of the past and present, Coltrane now must fight for his life in the world capital of make-believe: a decadent and deadly L.A.... A novel of dizzying Hitchcockian twists and turns, Double Image is David Morrell's most daring, imaginative, and unsettling work to date. For here, the much-praised author of such superb suspense thrillers as Extreme Denial, Desperate Measures, and The Brotherhood of the Rose takes us on a journey as complex and frightening as our darkest desires-and as haunting as a love that will not die.
