About this title

Synopsis

This is a tense and highly charged psychological thriller in which a young actress takes on her most challenging role to date - as a decoy to a serial killer.

From the Back Cover

There aren't many jobs for young actresses in New York, particularly young British actresses without work permists. Twenty-five-year-old Claire Rodenburg pays the rent the only way she can - as a decoy for a detective agency, entrapping straying husbands.

When a client is murdered in macabre circumstances, the police psychologist comes up with an audacious plan. Claire will become a decoy of a different kind, enticing the dead woman's husband into revealing whether or not he's the killer.

But as Claire gets closer to their quarry, she begins to realize that she's not the only one who's playing a part. And as she pursues the shadowy figure of a serial killer across the Internet and through the dark fantasies of a nineteenth-century poet, she has to throw away the script and improvise, immersing herself in her role far more deeply than she ever dreamed possible in order to prove her lover's innocence - or his guilt.

Dark, compelling and erotic, THE DECOY grips like a fist around the throat - and will leave you just as breathless.
