Gordon Watts discovers that he can clone himself; his late father's experiments with the 'extra dimension effects' of DNA were transferred to his then unborn son. The phenomenon has advantages for Gordon, especially when he and his twin self can successfully juggle the complications of their double life, which encompasses a sensational busking act. Inevitably shadowy strangers lurk in the background with unhealthy interest in Gordon/George's skills. Nick Baker manages to make the incredible convincing in this fascinating piece of fantasy which I had to read in one sitting.
