Helen McCloy Knihy
6. červen 1904 – 1. prosinec 1994
Helen McCloy byla americkou autorkou detektivních románů, která se proslavila svým seriálovým hrdinou, doktorem Basilem Willingem. Ten věří, že každý zločinec zanechává „psychické otisky“, které nelze skrýt. McCloy často využívala motivy dvojníků, avšak její příběhy nakonec vždy nabídly psychologické či realistické vysvětlení zdánlivě nadpřirozených událostí, čímž odhalovala hlubší lidské motivace.

Adam Endicott did not want Sam Joel as a husband for his young daughter, Kate. His past was sketchy and, as a reporter on a small-town newspaper, his assets were meagre. Yet when Kate is abducted by a terrorist group, Sam is able to produce a large part of the ransom. But paying the terrorists' demand does not bring back Kate. It only leads to another murder. When Sam decides to look for Kate himself he indeed finds a girl, but is it her? Can her experience have changed her this much? Is this the girl he loves, or a changeling?
