Helen McCloy Livres
6 juin 1904 – 1 décembre 1994
Helen McCloy était une romancière américaine de mystère, renommée pour son personnage récurrent, le Dr Basil Willing. Celui-ci est convaincu que "chaque criminel laisse des empreintes psychiques qu'il ne peut dissimuler". McCloy a souvent abordé le thème du double, mais elle fournissait systématiquement des explications psychologiques ou réalistes aux événements apparemment surnaturels, révélant ainsi les rouages complexes de la psyché humaine.

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?
