A self-styled pickup artist, she seduces wealthy men, takes their money, and disappears before emotion complicates business. But when a former target—a young police academy recruit—is found murdered in a motel with his nose and mouth sealed with glue, Hui-yeon becomes the prime suspect. Rookie profiler Kang Aram follows a trail through romance scams, online seduction communities, loneliness, and predatory gender politics, only to discover another figure using Hui-yeon’s methods with lethal intent. A sharp contemporary thriller about desire, manipulation, gender, agency, and the dangerous marketplace built around intimacy.
