Helen McCloy fu una scrittrice americana di gialli, nota per il suo personaggio seriale, il Dottor Basil Willing. Willing crede che "ogni criminale lascia impronte psichiche che non può nascondere". McCloy esplorò frequentemente il tema del doppio, ma finì sempre per fornire spiegazioni psicologiche o realistiche a eventi apparentemente soprannaturali, rivelando le complessità della mente umana.

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?
