Blaine Ayers and Lloyd Thomas are identical twins -- separated at birth, reunited by accident, and serial killers by choice. Two men, posing as one. Steve Cooke is a private investigator married to Gary Drake-Cooke, an interior decorator. The four men's paths cross when Blaine and Lloyd move into a house across the street from Steve and Gary. What happens next has the potential to change their lives forever -- for better or for worse. Warning: This story contains scenes of graphic violence.

Murderous Twins

That didn’t stop him from continuing. As he scrolled through the photos, he finally found what he was looking for. There was a small item, almost four years previously, from a marketing company in Cleveland. It contained a photo and blurb about their newest employee. The man could have been Blaine, but he wasn’t. His name was Lloyd Thomas. Got you.


With a name, now, Steve began a new search. He didn’t find much but what he did told him that Mr. Thomashad grown up in various foster homes in New York City, before earning a scholarship to college where he’d majored in Business Administration. That last bit of information came from his college yearbook.


It all fit with the idea that Mr. Ayers had left the town where his wife had died, taking his twin boys with him, and apparently arrived in New York with only one. Well, arrived with both of them, and dumped one of them somewhere. Probably at some orphanage or Safe Haven hospital or fire station, if I don’t miss my guess.
