'Claire isn't proud of what she does for a living. But she's proud as hell of the way that she does it . . .'
Fresh out of drama school, twenty-five-year-old Claire Rodenburg takes the only acting job available - as a decoy for a New York detective agency, ensnaring straying husbands. So far, only one man has refused the bait. His name is Christian Vogler.
A series of young women have been murdered, their killer apparently inspired by the macabre nineteenth-century poet Baudelaire. The police have one suspect - Christian Vogler.
When Vogler's wife joins the list of victims, Claire agrees to be a decoy of a different kind - a willing victim looking to share her damaged fantasies. But as she gets closer to the police's suspect, entering the darkest places of his mind, Claire realises she must throw away the script and improvise in order to establish his innocence - or his guilt.
Dark, compelling and erotic, 'The Decoy' grips like a fist around the throat - and will leave you just as breathless.
