The story follows Richard Miller, a man whose life is transformed after a childhood bout with polio leaves him with a vivid, often dark, imaginative world. He becomes entwined with a charismatic and enigmatic guitar teacher, Broderick, who introduces him to the concept of the \"Doubleman\"—a folk-myth figure from the realm of the fae. As Miller navigates the burgeoning folk-music scene and the complexities of desire and betrayal, the line between reality and the supernatural begins to blur. C. J. Koch crafts a masterful exploration of the power of illusion, the allure of the occult, and the ways in which the ghosts of our past continue to haunt our present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48750383988955,"sku":"2026200005513-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e3e62e70-6ab4-4926-a141-7b9c58f12465.png?v=1778095844","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200005513-secondhand-the-doubleman","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
