Seventeen-year-old Alex Petrovic is thrilled to be playing goal for Team British Columbia in an international hockey tournament. He has his sights set on a hockey scholarship, and scouts from all the major US colleges will be there.

After a game against a team from Eastern Europe, he shakes hands with the opposing goalie, Stefan Divac - and finds himself staring at his identical double. At first he doesn't know what to make of it. Until his mother sees Stefan-and faints dead away.

The chance meeting uncovers family secrets buried in the wake of a civil war back in their home country that separated the two brothers when they were infants. Reuniting with Stefan seems like a fairy tale come true - until sibling rivalry rears its ugly head. When Stefan attracts the attention of the college scouts Alex was hoping to impress, Alex's life goes off the rails.

As Alex struggles with his personal demons, the two war criminals from their home country who were responsible for tearing their family apart, escape. Alex dreams of bringing them to justice. Can his dream become reality?

"A terrific hybrid of sports writing and mystery ... Great hockey writing? Check. Mystery and suspense? Check. Adventure? Got it. These factors and others ensure a broad appeal and enthusiastic audience for this book." - CM Magazine "Betcherman uses hockey as a backdrop and adds some unexpected plot twists to engage readers -- especially boys -- with a penchant for sports and spy stories." - Montreal Gazette

"Both of my boys, preteen, read this book and couldn't put it down until they finished it. With the hockey theme, it was easy to get them to read it. Once they started they were hooked. They can't wait for the next book by Mr. Betcherman. If your kids love hockey and mysteries, this is a great book for them." Amazon Review
