Opposites attract

A series of murders keeps the Washington police department on edge. One after another, the bodies of blonde, lightly built women appear in different parts of the city. None of them show signs of violence. The murder weapon is always the same, an amice, a garment marked with a cross that Catholic priests use to celebrate mass and that the killer uses to strangle his victims. On the bodies, a note: "Her sin is forgiven." No other social or family link seems to connect the different deaths. With no other clues to cling to, the police have no choice but to collaborate with the distant and prestigious psychiatrist Tess Court, who quickly draws up the disturbing clinical picture of a tortured soul. But the inspector cares little about the killer's psyche. What he cares about, much to his regret, is that cold and calculating woman who keeps challenging him with her ridiculous theories and absurd advice. The dangerous game of attraction and desire they both embark on prevents them from seeing what is obvious: Tess is blonde. Tess is fragile. And her name appears on the list of a man who has only one mission: to save her from her sins. Opposite poles
