Perfect Impersonation

After a decade in federal prison, Leo Vance is released into a world that has no place for him. By chance, he encounters Julian Cross, a wealthy shipping magnate whose isolated life makes him the perfect target. A single violent act erases Julian—and Leo steps into his skin, armed with notebooks, voice recordings, and obsessive study. But as Leo masters every financial signature, every social tic, and every private memory, he discovers that the one thing he cannot counterfeit is Julian's vanished soul. The more perfect his performance, the louder the hollow echo inside him—until a federal habeas petition filed in Julian's name forces Leo to confront the emptiness at the heart of his new life.
