But everything changes when his Aunt Henrietta dies, leaving Felix a photograph of his father and himselfdated ten days before Felix was born. It can only mean one thing: Felix has an alter in Universe B. Panicked that his mystery novel may have been written already, Felix crosses to San Francisco B and proceeds to flagrantly violate the rules of both worlds by snooping around his alters life. But when he narrowly escapes a hit-and-run, it becomes clear that someone knows hes crossed overand whoever it is isnt happy about it.
