Halliday is the President of the United States. He is brilliant, charismatic and multi-talented: he is an unquestioned authority on every phase of government, from ecology to foreign policy. He is an irreplaceable paragon. While he is on a junket to Boston, the body of a murdered man is discovered in an alley behind the President's hotel. The murder, oddly, is not reported, and the body is spirited away to an anonymous grave. Meric Albano, the President's press secretary, wonders why, for even the president is tight-lipped about it. Albano instigates an investigation of his own and comes across a starling item. Another man in the President's home state has been murdered, a murder that ties in with the Boston victim: both men had strongly resembled the President. Who were these men, these exact duplicates? What agencies had they represented? What countries had they come from? Was one, and then the other, slated to replace a secretly assassinated President? Now that they were dead, by unknown hands, would they be replaced by others? The Multiple Man is a novel in which a bizarre murderer inexorably hunts down his equally bizarre victims for a brand of vengeance unprecedented in suspense fiction.. Book Condition: Very Good.
