Grand Central Publishing released Scott Turow's thriller novel "Identical" in 2013. The story centers around Paul and Cass Giannis, identical twin brothers who are estranged from each other. Paul, a politician, is accused of murder while Cass, a casino owner, hires private investigator Tim Brodie to prove Paul's innocence. As Brodie delves deeper into the case, he realizes that the murder may be linked to a decades-old secret involving the Giannis family.
The novel received mixed reviews, with some critics praising Turow's writing and others finding the plot too convoluted. However, it still managed to become a New York Times Bestseller. Turow, a former lawyer, is known for his legal thrillers such as "Presumed Innocent" and "The Burden of Proof". While "Identical" also has legal elements, it focuses more on familial relationships and the consequences of withholding the truth.
Overall, "Identical" is a gripping read with unexpected twists and turns. It is an exploration of how the past can come back to haunt us and the lengths people will go to protect their secrets. If you enjoy mystery novels with complex characters and intricate plotlines, "Identical" may be worth checking out.
