Description

A private detective is hired to find two twin brothers whom a certain powerful doctor, owner of the Hegeveld clinic in a protected area on the Baltic coast, keeps near him. The only problem is that they must be identified among the patients. Having infiltrated the forbidden zone under the guise of an expert in medieval recipes, our sleuth, after breathing in mandrake vapors, becomes a genius and takes part in evening feasts, where he shines in debates about life and death. But here is the snag: he still cannot identify the twins, and his deception is about to be exposed…

Those who love John Fowles, Umberto Eco, Patrick Süskind, or Mikhail Bulgakov will certainly enjoy Anatoly Korolev’s novel The House of Twins. The intellectual thriller keeps the reader’s attention until the final period.
