The Multiple Man — Ben Bova

TERROR IN TRIPLICATE

It began with the discovery of a murdered man in a back alley behind the President's hotel in Boston...a man whose body had to be deposited in an anonymous grave for reasons not even Meric Albano, the President's Press Secretary, wanted to talk about.

As if that weren't bad enough, he soon discovered that there had been a previous murder, that one in the President's home state. Once again the victim had to be concealed, since he too was what no one wanted to admit--a dead ringer for the President. Meric Albano admired his boss, and he wasn't about to sit by and see him replaced by a carbon copy. But how was he going to prevent the most heinous assassination of the century if no one could tell the victim from the killers... even if the victim was the President of the United States!
