Neuroscientist Evelyn Malcolm has built her life on reason. She believes in clean data, repeatable results, and the comforting illusion that the mind can be mapped, measured, and controlled. But when the man she has secretly loved is found dead, Evelyn's carefully constructed world collapses.

Now a prime suspect in his murder, she's forced back into the orbit of her estranged twin sister, Vivian—a volatile mystery writer and recovering addict whose life has been defined by impulse, instability, and excess. When the twin's DNA is discovered at the crime scene, the case fractures into something far more disturbing. Two sisters. One victim. Matching genetic fingerprints. And no clear explanation for what really happened.

As the sisters are pushed beyond their limits, Evelyn is forced to confront everything she has spent her life denying: the unreliability of memory, the fragility of identity, and the terrifying possibility that the mind is not a neutral observer, but an active participant in its own deception. And clearing her name may require the one thing she has always avoided: trusting her sister.

Propulsive, hallucinatory, and darkly funny, My Twin the Murderer is a mind-bending psychological thriller about the hidden costs of believing we are fully in control.

Her work spans decades, from global feature films and streaming series to campaigns for nonprofits and Fortune 500s.
