The Scapegoat, by Daphne du Maurier **ONLINE MEETING**

By chance, John and Jean--one English, the other French--meet in a provincial railway station. Their resemblance to each other is uncanny, and they spend the next few hours talking and drinking - until at last John falls into a drunken stupor. It's to be his last carefree moment, for when he wakes, Jean has stolen his identity and disappeared. So the Englishman steps into the Frenchman's shoes...

Gripping and complex, The Scapegoat is a masterful exploration of doubling and identity, and of the dark side of the self.
