About this ebook

A chilling story of hidden evil, The Third Twin is a heart-stopping, spine-tingling novel from master storyteller and author of Never, Ken Follett.

An Impossible Result
Jeannie Ferrami, a scientific researcher investigating the behaviour of identical twins who have been raised separately, uncovers a perplexing mystery: identical twins who were born on different days, to different mothers, in different places.

A Blossoming Love
One of the twins, Steve, is a law student. The other, Dennis, is a convicted murderer. Jeannie works with Steve on her research project and finds herself falling in love with him – but their world is shattered when he is accused of a monstrous crime.

A Terrible Secret
Jeannie cannot believe that Steve is guilty, but to prove it she will be forced to question everything she believes. And, as she digs deeper, she uncovers a terrifying conspiracy – one which the plotters will kill to keep hidden.

Ratings and reviews

Can't put this book down. As in literally, just wanted to know what happens next. Ken Follett has done it again once more, I once read The Smoke Jumpers and I was thrilled by his imagination. He is a good all time writer.

Unnerving. Unsettling. Thrilling. A great contemporary cousin twice removed of Boys from Brazil.

This book prove that through science we can achieve the impossible I keep reading it each every 2 years
