Nick's an admitted troublemaker, but when his mysterious doppelganger starts committing increasingly sinister crimes, his small New England town is ready to string Nick up. The secret of this ghostly presence might lie in the recent influenza epidemic of 1918, but everyone urges Nick to forget the past. Collier's challenging novel effectively combines historical fiction with a genuinely spooky supernatural tale.
