In The Echo Wife, brilliant scientist Evelyn Caldwell is at the top of her field in clone development when she discovers her ex-husband Nathan stole her research to create her genetic replica - and he's been living with her clone for months. The clone, Martine, is programmed to be everything Evelyn is not-a patient, gentle, obedient wife, and soon-to-be mother. After a morning that begins with a confrontation and ends with Nathan's body bleeding out on the kitchen floor, Evelyn and Martine are left with only each other to cover up Nathan's mess, to protect Evelyn's life's work and to confront the traumas of her, and now their past.
