When the beautiful young videographer offered to join his campaign, Senator Lee Rogers should've known better. But saying no would have taken a stronger man than Rogers, with his ailing wife and his robust libido. 

Enter Barton Brock, the senator's fixer. He's already gotten rid of one troublesome young woman — how hard could this new one turn out to be? Pursued from Washington D.C. to the streets of Paris, 18-year-old Fanny Cours knows her reputation and budding career are on the line. But what she doesn't realise is that her life might be as well...

'It's like having a new Brian De Palma picture.' — Martin Scorsese, Academy Award-winning director 

'One of the world's greatest filmmakers has helped produce a fast-moving page turner, breathlessly paced…irresistible for any De Palma fan.' — Bret Easton Ellis, author of American Psycho
