by Fiona Barton

A journalist Kate Waters gets interested in a story and starts her investigation.

While exploring the neighborhood, Kate hears stories and secrets and has to decide what can go public and what not.
THE IDENTICALS
Want a real summertime story? You've got one. It is about identical twins Tabitha and Harper Frost who live on separate islands and try to prove the world that they have nothing in common. However, there's a family crisis and the twins are forced to get back together. After new love stories and old battles they finally realize that the bond they share as twins is more important than competition and anger that drove them apart. The plot sounds as a typical trite? Well, just pick up the novel and you'll see how quickly it turns into a page turner.

But to every new technology there's also unforeseen consequences, not to mention the ethical issues. Are we in control of evolution?
