First edition. Signed. Fine in dust jacket with a wrap-around promotional band. Claire Rodenburg, a drama school graduate, finds herself working for a private detective agency as a decoy to trap cheating husbands. So far, only one man has refused the bait . Christian Vogler. A series of young women have been murdered, their killer apparently inspired by the macabre writings of the nineteenth-century poet Charles Baudelaire. The police have just one suspect . Christian Vogler. When Vogler's own wife joins the list of murder victims, Claire is approached by the police to be a different kind of decoy. She agrees to help the police gather evidence against Vogler. As the operation slowly ensnares its prey, Claire pursues the shadowy figure of a serial killer across the Internet and through the dark fantasies of the nineteenth-century poet.
