No coin nor oath required. For personal study only.
On a foggy Monday in 1986, the universe suddenly, without warning, bifurcated. Fast forward to thirty-five years later: Felix Sayers is a culinary writer living in San Francisco of Universe A who spends his days lunching at Coconut CafΓ© and dreaming of penning an Agatha Christie-style mystery. But everything changes when his Aunt Henrietta dies, leaving Felix a photograph of his father and himselfβdated ten days before Felix was born. It can only mean one thing: Felix has an βalterβ in Universe B. Panicked that his mystery novel may have been written already, Felix crosses to San Francisco B and proceeds to flagrantly violate the rules of both worlds by snooping around his alterβs life. But when he narrowly escapes a hit-and-run, it becomes clear that someone knows heβs crossed overβ¦and whoever it is isnβt happy about it. Now Felix must uncover the truth about his alter, the events of one Monday, and a wayward rubber duck before his time in both worlds runs out.
