Best-selling author, Jonathan Sendel has been murdered. Now, his clone must solve the mystery.

In the near future when someone is murdered, a clone of the victim can be commissioned to help police solve the crime. This process is costly, tedious and not always successful.

Memory lapses, mental implosions, and rouge clones are not uncommon. It's risky, but Jonathan has the money, the fans, and the means, and so his clone must navigate a treacherous labyrinth of secrets to reclaim the life stolen from him and put his murderer behind bars.

Before his untimely death, Jonathan was stuck in a rut. His marriage was failing, writer's block had his Jim Starlight series at a dead-end, and his affair with a college student was about to go public.

When his charred remains are found inside his remote cabin it's clear that the murderer is someone in his inner circle. His clone only has a matter of days to unravel the mystery before he loses the vast fortune he spent his entire life, the first one, building.

As he uncovers his previous life's transgressions, the people he trusted most may have some unsavory opinions about clones. Jonathan must take his investigation into his own hands to have a chance at life.

The Second Life of Jonathan Sendel is a twist-filled murder mystery, that examines the life of a beloved celebrity tarnished by scandal and the painful process of coming to terms with one’s own demons. .
