Book Description:

It isn't the first time that identical twins Gillian and Melina Lloyd have switched identities. Melina, the more impetuous twin, proposes that her circumspect sister take her place as a media escort to NASA astronaut and national hero Colonel Christopher "Chief" Heart. Although it's an enticing offer, Gillian declines for a very personal reason. Besides, she warns Melina, such a switch could have unexpected consequences.

Media-savvy Chief turns out to be an easy assignment for Melina. But the following morning, police arrive at Melina's door with the worst possible news: her beloved twin has been murdered, and on the walls, scrawled in blood, are obscenities directed at Gillian, along with insults that indisputably link Chief to the crime.

Dissatisfied with the official police investigation, Chief and Melina form a grudging alliance. Striking out on their own, they uncover more questions than answers, and are eventually led to the threshold of an inner sanctum, where a megalomaniac lies in wait for Gillian's replacement, her identical twin -- Melina.

A story that reveals the powerful, almost mystical bond between twins -- bond that compels a woman to go to impossible lengths to avenge her sister, The Switch defies every prediction.

Sandra Brown as good as ever. Mix in twins, indians, and FBI and local agents trying to solve Kidnappings, murders and suicides while being laughed at by an egomaniac and you get a great stew.

Gillian and Melina Loyd are identical twins, so it comes as no surprise to Gillian when Melina comes up with the idea of switching places for the night (the twins played the switching game as children, but never as adults), Gillian declines the offer to take her sisters place as a media escort for astronaut Christopher "Chief" Hart. Melina begs her sister, but lets the idea drop after Gillian explains that she underwent an artificial insemination procedure earlier that day.
The following morning, Melina, is awakened to the terrible news of her sister being murdered...

Demanding to see the crime scene, Melina, witnesses the blood and obsenities scrawled over Gillian's bedroom wall, the obsenities refering to "Chief" Hart.

With Hart being the main suspect, the police endlessly question him, but after another twist in the case occurs, the police let Hart off the hook.

The desire to find the killer, sends Hart and Melina on their own investigation, turning up more questions in this bizzare murder. As the two become deeper in the case they will find a trail of clues leading them to the clinic where the artificial insemination was performed.

The pages turn FAST in "The Switch", the reader is kept glued to their chair uncovering secrets and cliffhangers in each chapter, as the novel roars along to the stunning conclusion.

Sandra Brown has crafted another top-notch thriller that will immediately land on the bestseller list's.

Twins Melina a Gillian Lloyd have never switched places, not even as a childhood prank, but when Gillian proposes that Melina take her place to escort a famous NASA astronaut, she never imagined she wouldn't return. Great Sandra Brown book.
