About This Item
New York: Felony & Mayhem Press. As New in As New dust jacket. 2008. 1st Felony & Mayhem Edition. Hardcover. Protected in a removable Brodart archival cover. Pale gray boards and spine with title and author on spine in silver. 295 pages. Born into a life of privilege, Sybilla has spent the past many years opting instead to live on the streets of Stockholm, cadging a bed, a bath, a meal, where she can. Her favorite technique -- one she permits herself only as a special treat -- plays out at the Grand Hotel, where with luck and persistence she can usually charm a lonely visiting businessman into buying her dinner and a room for the night.But then she picks the wrong businessman. When his dead body is found the next morning, Sybilla becomes the prime suspect. And when a second person is killed in a similar manner, Sybilla becomes the most wanted woman in Sweden. For years, her anonymity has sheltered her; she has found a kind of home in the invisibility of homeless life. But with her anonymity shattered, Sybilla is forced into the one course of action that might allow her to go home again. .
