"Everything you know about desire is dead wrong"
Frannie is a teacher in New York. Part of a body is found near her house. Detective Malloy comes to her to ask if she has heard or seen anything, but she can't tell him anything. She does want to know all the sickening details about the murder. During the investigation into the murder, the two seek each other more and more and the attraction that develops is impetuous, irresistible and at times almost perverse. When more and more murders are committed, also in Frannie's immediate environment, she has to choose between emotion and reason. And she must confront the mysterious and attractive cop who has turned her life upside down.
