In this exciting second installment of the madcap paranormal fantasy romance series, New York City seems to have double the number of wise guys that there should be…
“Unplug the phone and settle down for a fast and funny read.”—New York
Times bestselling author Mary Jo Putney
While working as a singing waitress at Bella Stella’s in Little Italy, struggling actress Esther Diamond witnesses a mob hit. And right before getting whacked out, the victim tells her that he just saw his own doppio—a perfect double and a notorious portent of death.
Before long, more doppelgangers start haunting New York’s mobsters, who are subsequently getting bumped off in mysterious ways. Meanwhile, Esther’s new love-interest, Detective Connor Lopez, gets transferred to the NYPD’s Organized Crime Control Bureau and is assigned to investigate these very same mob hits.
Determined to prevent the murder of more of her restaurant customers, slayings that would soon lead to a mob war, Esther tries to uncover the evil genius behind the deadly doppelgangsters. Along with Max, the 350-year-old sorcerer, and Lucky, an aging hit man, Esther delves deep into the world of wise guys in pursuit of a ruthlessly mystical murderer.
“A wonderful blend of comedy and surprising suspense. Ifyou haven’t met Esther Diamond yet, then you’re missing out on a lot of fun.”—Linda Howard, New York Times bestselling author
