Eric sees fame and fortune on the horizon, until he is kicked out of school for a theft he did not commit. Penniless, he is reduced to taking a job with a NY manufacturer of scent additives for supermarket products.
But when a knockoff of his perfume surfaces as the only link in a series of passion-driven homicides, Eric is the NYPD's prime suspect. He becomes obsessed with finding the counterfeiter and deciphering why the knockoff is killing people. 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.
This is a story of forgery and greed. It is also a story of the fragrance industry, the psychology of scent, and life's surprises.
