Split Image / Robert B. Parker / 218 pages / Deceased Author Challenge

Chief of Police Jesse Stone begins a routine investigation into a murder and discovers the man was in the employ of a local retired tough guy.  He also discovers that the tough guy is married to a beautiful twin named Rebecca and that her twin, who lives next door, is married to another retired thug.  Their obvious devotion to their husbands sends Jesse into a tailspin as he cannot seem to come to terms with his own failed marriage to Jenny.  Local PI, Sunny Randall, has similar difficulties and is investigating a young girl whose parents want her removed from a local religious group.  Jesse's twins are something else...They were called The Bang Bang twins in high school...and the religious group is anything but...Resolution to both these cases is rather unorthodox...not at all unusual for Parker.
