The Twin Minder by Ken Raybuck, his fourth novel
(from author description on Amazon)
Ken Raybuck announces his fourth novel, THE TWIN MINDER, a psychological thriller. The protagonist, Raymond Paine, dreams of a loving, steady relationship with a beautiful girl he met by accident. His identical twin, Thomas, foils his every attempt to be the kind of person Leah could be with. Due to the reality of his twisted liaison with his evil twin, Ray’s hope for a normal life is only delusional fantasy.
Leah, a recent divorcee, is trying to sort out her own life when she has a chance meeting with Ray near her dad’s remote hunting camp. They have a couple dates and she views him as a quiet, backward, yet kind man. Leah confides in him as a friend, but nothing more, hoping he would sympathize with her effort to change her life and leave an abusive man she met while clubbing. She does not anticipate that her new friend wants much more from her, and is capable of delivering horrific judgment on others. She fiercely protects her daughter when the truth comes out, fighting back against the man she trusted.
THE TWIN MINDER has all the elements of a psycho thriller, including a doctor who makes an incredible discovery during his study of a psychopathic serial killer. New York State Police Investigator, Todd Williams, is on a mission to find the killer of a family of five at Chautauqua Lake by first solving the strange missing person case of Doctor Feingold, a staff doctor at a bleak mental institution in Elmira, New York. The reader will travel from a remote hunting camp to Heaven, a downtown nightclub vibrating to pounding disco music. A deep, dark woods, forever cast in shadows, hides grisly secrets to the unfolding mystery.
Initial reviewers note that it is “his best book yet” and “the readers are in for a wild ride on this one.” THE TWIN MINDER will be live, and available for purchase, March 26, 2023. Beta readers call it “a good one” and a “quick read.” Ken’s new page-turner will keep you guessing until the end.
