About This Book

A respected physician discovers a chemical process that produces a distinct, smaller alter ego embodying his repressed impulses; that alter ego commits cruel and violent acts while the physician struggles to conceal the truth. A lawyer friend and other acquaintances pursue irregular incidents and a shocking killing, unravelling the link between the two identities. The narrative unfolds through observations, investigative episodes, and the physician's final written account, which explains the experiments, the progressive loss of control over the transformations, and the tragic moral consequences of trying to separate a single human nature.
