Meghan Collins, newly hired TV reporter, makes a startling discovery while on assignment at a large metropolitan hospital. An unidentified young woman dying of a knife wound is rushed into the emergency ward, and Meghan finds herself staring down at a person who could be her double. She is thrust into an investigation that not only involves finding out the identity of the dead woman, but also uncovering the details of her father's puzzling death 10 months earlier. Nine months ago, her much-loved father's car spun off a New York bridge. Now, investigators are saying that there's no trace of his car in the river, and they suspect he faked his own death. With frightening speed, links start to appear between Meghan's father and her dead lookalike. To complicate things further, Meghan's next assignment reveals some questionable procedures at a fertility clinic in regard to in vitro fertilization of identical twins.

Meghan took a cab to her apartment in Battery Park City, at the very tip of Manhattan
Tom Weicker, 52-year-old news director of PCD Channel 3, had been borrowing Meghan Collins from the radio affiliate with increasing frequency

By Monday afternoon, the Manning Clinic had settled down from the excitement of the weekend reunion
At 7:30 Tuesday morning, Mac watched his lively son leap onto the school bus
On Tuesday morning, from the front windows of her home in Scottsdale, Arizona, Frances Grolier could see the first glimmer of light begin to define the McDowell Mountains
Mac found his work in the LifeCode Research Laboratory, where he was a specialist in genetic therapy, to be rewarding, satisfying and all-absorbing
In Helene Petrovic's charming colonial home in Lawrenceville, New Jersey, her niece, Stephanie, was cross and worried
By 8:00 on Tuesday evening, traffic in the garage had slowed down to a trickle
The body of Helene Petrovic lay all Tuesday in the bedroom where she had died
Phillip Carter heard the news report detailing Dr. Helene Petrovic's death on his way to the office
Despite the best efforts of the entire staff of the Manning Clinic there was no hiding the tension that permeated the atmosphere
Victor Orsini and Phillip Carter never socialized for lunch
Bernie stopped at a diner on Route 7 just outside Danbury
Catherine Collins touched the button at her hand, and the hospital bed tilted noiselessly up
Part two.
On Wednesday afternoon, investigators from Connecticut drove to Lawrenceville, New Jersey, to question Stephanie Petrovic about her murdered aunt
The shock that Meghan had felt at once again seeing the dead woman who resembled her had dulled by the time a vial of blood was drawn from her arm
Just before 5:00, Victor Orsini received the call he was afraid might come
Dr. Henry Williams, the 65-year-old head of the Franklin Assisted Reproduction Center in the renovated old town section of Philadelphia, was a man who looked vaguely like everyone's favorite uncle

There was an auction coming up on property near the Rhode Island border

On Sunday morning, Catherine Collins attended the 10:00 mass at St. Paul's, but she found it difficult to keep her mind on the sermon

On Monday evening when Mac got home from work, Kyle was his usual cheerful self
Monday had been a bad day for Bernie

"Kyle, shouldn't you be starting your homework?" Marie Dileo, the 60-year-old housekeeper gently prodded
After her mother went back to the inn, Meghan phoned Phillip at home
When Bernie's mother regained consciousness, she tried to shout for help, but she knew none of the neighbors could hear her
The squad car pulled into the driveway of the shabby one-story frame house in Jackson Heights, and two policemen jumped out
