There was something about him she couldn't pinpoint."

Review -
Seeing Double is a complex story of international intrigue featuring a religious extremist who has embraced the concept of a devastating world cleanse that would bring about the end of mankind. He is attracting an ever growing group of zealots who believe in this vision. Several different agencies are working separately to untangle all the threads. They need to uncover everyone involved and more importantly, figure out where the financing is coming from. Time is running out.
Adding depth to the book is a side story of family and friends living in different worlds, yet struggling to keep a youthful promise to work together for peace between their cultures. Loyalties are stretched to the limit and promises of total honesty cannot be kept. Will their deep connection survive the challenges that arise.
Author Nancy J Alexander's job was a difficult one with this book - how to introduce readers to a large number of diverse characters and plot threads early in the book while building excitement. She succeeds beautifully. From there she slowly wove all those separate elements into an ending I guarantee will surprise you.

Love of the mystery/thriller genre combines with psychotherapy training and experience to produce an emotionally supercharged dramatic novel. Nancy Alexander has devoted much of her professional life to helping survivors of childhood trauma; their distress has been ingrained and works to create characters who give voice to their plight. To analyze the evil minds that prey on others and the intricacies of law enforcers who pursue them seemed a natural interlacing of professional, literary and creative interests.
