So begins a story of love and terror. Laurent is a seducer, or rather, an obsessive woman chaser. But, with Claire things are different. No doubt because the young woman senses a dark side to his personality that he tries to keep hidden.\u00a0Women have been murdered by a man who is spreading terror through the city. Claire can\u2019t stop herself from making a connection between Laurent and the killer. And yet, as her suspicions become even clearer, she becomes more and more attached to him.
