Tweedledum and Tweedledee is a 1967 British novel by Alec Coppel. [1]

The Daily Telegraph said the novel had "some nailbiting moments" and "an ingenious nemesis". [2]

It was written as a movie script. The script was optioned by Charles Matthau in the 1990s who said "Coppel is a master of suspense who can set up 12 plot points in a single scene. All it needs is to be contemporized." However the film was not produced. [3]

Premise

James Farrow, a movie star, hires a lookalike to stand in for him at public appearances. The double turns out to be a killer.
