He has walked through the valley of death and man's depravity. Now war photographer Mitch Coltrane is trying to escape his memories. As he loses himself in a world of art and obsession in L.A., a haunting photograph of a woman pulls him into the mystery of a beautiful starlet during Hollywood's golden age. But past and present are about to collide. A living woman, eerily like the woman in his photograph, comes into his life. So does a killer -- straight from the hell that Coltrane survived. Deception, double identities, and murderous revenge will shatter his new life and force Coltrane to perform the ultimate act of courage -- not with a camera, but with a gun.
"Powerful action, evoked by Morrell -- as always with brilliant clarity and strength."
DONALD E. WESTLAKE, AUTHOR OF THE AX "Everything [David Morrell] writes has a you-are-there quality, and that, coupled with his ability to propel characters through a scene, makes reading him like attending a private screening."
WASHINGTON POST BOOK WORLD
"Morrell is at the top of his craft. The in-depth characterization, believable and unpredictable plot developments, and psychological depths will draw all readers."
LIBRARY JOURNAL
"Gritty action born out of extreme emotion.... This sensual novel shows Morrell to be a writer who can turn out a novel in any genre. Written in his usual polished prose, Double Image should find him many new fans and keep the old ones happy as well."
ASSOCIATED PRESS
"A greased-lightning thriller."
