her father and her fiancé. Posing as a dominatrix, she devises a foolproof
plan to entice men to her house and kill them.
When a third man is reported missing, the police have to treat the case as a
potential multiple homicide, even though no bodies have yet been found.

before she lures more victims to their death.

S&M business. It follows Arlenton’s pursuit of her prey, while trying to keep
her relationship with fellow detective, Jim Patterson, on an even keel.
