Aphrodesia

"SENSUALLY EVOCATIVE THRILLER. BRILLIANT, ENGAGING TWIST." (Kirkus Reviews). - "The story of an aphrodisiac with unforeseen consequences." Eric Foster, a student at the top perfume school in France, creates a scent based on the fragrance the Queen of Sheba used to seduce King Solomon. Eric tests it, and the results surpass his wildest dreams. It is an aphrodisiac of astonishing potency. When a knockoff of the scent surfaces as the only link in a series of passion-driven homicides, Eric - a gentle soul who once rescued a 3-legged bloodhound - becomes the NYPD's prime suspect. With growing panic, he enlists help from forensic chemist, Tanya, and together they venture to Yemen and France, into the dark underbelly of the world of perfumery.

Readers are intrigued with the psychology of scent, the forensics, the dark side of the perfume world, and the heart-stopping tension in APHRODESIA.
