Allen Eskens

The Guise of Another, the follow up to Allen Eskens' award winning novel The Life We Bury, tells the story of two brothers, both detectives with the Minneapolis Police Department. Alexander Rupert, the younger brother, is a Fraud detective whose life is in a downward spiral. He comes across an identity theft case that he believes will rehabilitate his tattered reputation and dives into the case with all he has. The case explodes into far more than he expected and Alexander's older brother Max Rupert (the homicide detective from The Life We Bury) steps in to try and save his brother from the carnage let loose by that investigation.
