Juxtaposing Giorgio (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781968640484)

A gripping novel of identity, deception, and the dangerous cost of reinvention.

When a grisly murder leads to the conviction of a young woman who swears she's innocent, Detectives Mascher and Cardozo sense something deeply wrong with the case. Their instincts prove justified when a shocking discovery reveals a man who looks exactly like the victim's alleged accomplice-except he's alive, well, and living under a different name.

Across the country in Riverside, California, Giorgio Di Napoli is rebuilding his life with a tragic past he repeats whenever asked: a grieving financial adviser who lost his wife and son and has fled New York for a quieter existence. The town embraces him. Friends welcome him. Women are drawn to him. But Giorgio's story is not what it seems-and neither are the people who have become entangled in his new life.

As the detectives push against a system eager to close the file and Giorgio maneuvers through a web of secrets, false identities, and dangerous alliances, two narratives race toward a collision that will expose the truth... and the price of escaping it.

A sharp, character-driven thriller, Juxtaposing Giorgio explores how far a person will go to bury the past-and how far others will go to uncover it.
