Paul Stannard, after successfully playing a terrorist in a student production at Oxford, is asked by the British Secret Service to take his performance on the road.
It seems they need someone to play the role of a notorious international terrorist, whom he strangely resembles, with the aim of convincing the terrorist's cronies that their leader has been captured. It will be a single, one-off performance, Paul is assured. However, when he gets kidnapped, he has no choice but to keep up the role - with no knowing when the final curtain will fall. He finds himself on the run from rival terrorist organisations with little to help him but his improvisational skills and a much-needed sense of humour. With constant plot-twists and non-stop action, Double Take takes the reader on a suspenseful but often comic ride through the world of Cold War espionage in 1980s England.
Genre: Thriller
