Helen McCloy Knihy
6. jún 1904 – 1. december 1994
Helen McCloy bola americkou autorkou detektívnych románov, ktorá sa preslávila svojou seriálovou postavou Dr. Basila Willinga. Ten verí, že každý zločinec zanecháva „psychické odtlačky prstov“, ktoré nemožno skryť. McCloy často využívala tému dvojníka, ale jej príbehy vždy nakoniec ponúkli psychologické alebo realistické vysvetlenie zdanlivo nadprirodzených udalostí, čím odhaľovala hlbšie ľudské motívy.

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?
