Next of Twin

Riah Arora has traveled from Italy to San Francisco to find her twin. Born in India and separated from her sister at birth in an era when parents didn’t want baby girls, even she isn’t sure if she’s on a mission to deliver a message from their ailing birth mother . . . or to con her sister like one of the marks she expertly robs to make her living. Anjali Murphy—successful owner of a trendy café, married to a well-to-do lawyer—has an agenda of her own. But when she and her sister finally meet, they feel an instant bond and connection only a twin can understand. Even so, Riah is envious of Anjali’s life, and she seizes the opportunity to pull one last, lucrative con. A week later, Riah wakes up in the hospital and is mistaken for Anjali. Moreover, she’s told by Sadie Harper, a homicide detective, that Anjali’s husband, Michael, is dead. Who killed Michael? And where is the real Anjali? The detectives are convinced that this is a simple crime-of-passion case—but as Riah struggles to recover her memory and answer these questions, she discovers a plot that runs deeper than bloodlines.
