    About this ebook

    When Jack Duncan finds out his wife changed the terms of her life insurance policy, he’s not a happy man. Instead of a cash payout, he gets a clone. His wife is back and all his planning has gone for naught.

    He is tasked with helping her adjust and re-assume her life. But maybe all is not lost. Perhaps she will have problems adjusting. Maybe she'll commit suicide.

    Mark Souza

    I lead a pretty boring life, really. During the day, I build jet aircraft - well, not all by myself - I do my part. At night, I create monsters and new worlds for them to play in. I write fiction - horror mostly, but my interests are broad and I will not be boxed into one genre. The only thing I can promise readers is a commitment to keep them entertained. I hope to become one of your favorite authors.

A stream of familiar faces had filed into his home to deliver an awkward moment and a story about how wonderful Marianne had been, and to say how much she’d be missed. He’d had his fill of pity and Marianne stories by the end of the first day. Privacy is what he wanted most – that and the insurance payout.

      A stranger stood at the door smiling. The man looked unremarkable: average height, middle aged with a slight paunch, meaty face, curly salt and pepper hair. He wore a navy suit, red tie, well shined black shoes, and carried a matching briefcase. He looked like a salesman.

      After opening the door a crack, Jack asked, Do I know you?

      The man’s dimples deepened. "Mr. Duncan, I’m Tova Burke with
