Michael | 11 comments This book is about some guy who does sales jingles or something. For reasons I cant remember, he fakes his own death and assumes the identity of his recently deceased twin brother who was a missionary in Africa. Unfortunately, his brother owed money to some dangerous people and they've come to collect their money. Does anyone remember the authors name? Sorry, but I cant remember when I read it. It was at least a decade ago, I think.

Michael, that's a good start, but we need much more information in the header/topic title at the top of the page. Many members only read the headers. We have thousands of book requests, so threads with vague headers are closed.

Copy the genre and plot details from your message #1 to the header by clicking the small "edit" link after the header. This only works on the full Desktop website - not the Mobile website or app. (On the Mobile website, click the "Desktop version" link at the bottom of the page.)

What's the genre (which we need to add to the header/topic title) - e.g., Adult thriller?

I added some details to the header. Feel free to edit it.

Michael is still looking for this.

"Adult Fiction. Ad writer who owes money to a lone shark, assumes the identity of his recently deceased brother who was a missionary in Africa. Hilarity ensues. Title: Cross Dressing.

i know the title of this book, but there are many books of the same title., almost none of them fiction. What i need is the authors name. The plot revolves around an ad writer who owes .oney to the mob. Histwin brother, a missionary,dies and the MC assumes his identity to hide from the mob, who are ready to kill him.add a nun, who is not what she appears and... you get the pixture. The name of the book is cross dressing. Get it? Priest. CROSS. dressing? Arf arf. Does anyone know who the author is. The title alone is no help."

Amber's suggestion of Cross Dressing by Bill Fitzhugh sounds like your book.

Google Books preview of Cross Dressing by Bill Fitzhugh:

https://books.google.com/books?id=9Gu...

Quotes from the book:
- Dan broke into a broad smile. No wonder the voice was familiar. It belonged to his identical twin. "Michael!" he blurted. (...) "I thought you were in Africa," Dan said from behind his brother's ear."
"Just got back." (...) Father Michael walked in and set his small suitcase on the floor.
- ... one of Dan's television commercials ...
