Not all twins are alike.

Their bond was a twisted knot. After Stephen received a life sentence for stabbing a bartender 47 times, Robert tried a different path.

Robert visited Stephen in Attica; the cell door’s slam reminded him of where he didn’t want to be.

Yet, the morbid admiration of his brother gnawed at him. Stephen was his dark hero. He craved that attention. Robert’s life unraveled. Drugs consumed him — each high a step further into darkness.

Between 1990 and 2005, he strangled or bludgeoned four victims. Though different, some twins are bound by something more sinister than blood.

This historical fiction is based on the A&E true crime story Double Trouble: Twins Who Have Committed Murders and Other Crimes.
