Detective Stories

Igra povjerenja

J. P. Delaney

Claire Wright is a British drama student in New York and because she doesn't have a green card, she's not allowed to do most jobs.

So she applies for an extra job at a divorce law firm where she uses her acting skills to catch and film unfaithful husbands in the act. However, when the police find the body of one of Claire's clients, they are convinced that the perpetrator is her husband Patrick. A university professor and recognized translator of Charles Baudelaire's poetry, he is completely immersed in his dark poetic images. Since the police have no evidence against him, Claire is given an undercover assignment to get close to him and try to lure him into confessing to the murder. Claire is a great actress and it shouldn't be difficult for her to pull off the task. But soon he makes incredible discoveries and begins to wonder who is really the bait - and who is the prey?
