When a chance encounter with a beautiful stranger on a Berlin street ignites an obsessive infatuation, a man's descent into madness leads to a dark and deadly outcome, proving that love at first sight isn't always a fairy tale.
Love can hurt. It can be a killer. When she smiled at him as she walked past on that wet Berlin street, Jon Quennell fell instantly, madly in love. Sometimes, however, being ‘crazy in love’ with someone doesn’t end in a beautiful romance. Sometimes people get hurt. And sometimes, people die.
