Summary

In 1882, the young Lou Andreas-Salome, writer, psychoanalyst and femme fatale, appears with Friedrich Nietzsche and another man in a bizarre photograph taken in Luzern, Switzerland. Over 30 years later, an intense art student in Freud's Vienna presents Lou Salome with his own drawing based on the infamous photograph. In the present day, Tess Berenson, a brilliant performance artist, moves into an art deco loft in downtown Oakland, California. This, she learns, was vacated in a hurry by a professional dominatrix who used the name Chantal Desforges. Her curiosity about Chantal intensifies when her body is discovered in the trunk of a stolen car. Embarking on an obsessive investigation into the murder, Tess discovers a link to the original Luzern photograph and the 1913 drawing - but as she gets closer to the shocking truth, she finds that she too is in jeopardy.
