Summaries

After a series of bizarre actions, Loris is mistaken for a serial killer. Jessica, a policewoman in undercover, will try to induce him to commit a murder.

A vicious serial sex killer is on the loose, and landscape gardener and shop-window outfitter Loris is the prime suspect, thanks to his unfortunate habit of getting caught in compromising situations (for which there is always a totally innocent explanation that the police fail to spot). Undercover policewoman Jessica is assigned by eccentric police psychologist Taccone to follow Loris and provide evidence for his arrest - but things don't quite go according to plan...—Michael Brooke <[email protected]>

Branded a depraved maniac by the police after a fateful misunderstanding, Loris, a part-time worker in a mannequin shop, becomes the number-one suspect in a string of murders. So, to ferret out the elusive offender, Jessica Rossetti, a charming undercover officer, embarks on a dangerous mission to make Loris show his true colours. But first things first. Is Loris the killer they're looking for? If the oddball is as innocent as a lamb, where is the monster terrorising the city's women?—Nick Riganas
