"Lease to Doomsday" by Lee Archer is a science fiction novel written in the mid-20th century. The story revolves around a real estate broker, Kevin Muldoon, who becomes entangled with a pair of peculiar identical twins, Robert and Evin Reeger, as they plan to acquire a large plot of land near a garbage dump. Despite Muldoon's initial skepticism about the twins and their unorthodox business proposition, he soon discovers that their plans are far more sinister than they initially appear. The narrative follows Muldoon as he investigates the Reeger twins and their mysterious actions. After being hired to secure leases for an extensive area, he uncovers their involvement in counterfeiting money using a strange machine hidden within their shack. As Muldoon fights for his life and attempts to thwart the twins' criminal activities, he ultimately enlists the help of authorities. The climax leads to an intense confrontation, resulting in the twins' capture and Muldoon's plans for the previously unwanted land transforming into a viable project. The story blends elements of suspense and intrigue with a touch of humor, culminating in a dramatic resolution that reflects on greed and cunning in the realm of business.
