Double Indemnity

Double Indemnity

by Robert Sheckley, Galaxy 57 (December, 1957), 78-105.

Magazine cover: Galaxy 57 (December, 1957)

Playful SF novelette in which Sheckley takes the concept of double indemnity insurance and works in a physical double. His protagonist is a base schemer whose time travelling machinations are brought undone by an equally sly main-chancer. The comeuppance is neatly executed.
