520    "The thrilling-- and so wonderfully French-- story of a 
       gruesome 1889 murder of a lascivious court official by a 
       ruthless con man and his pliant mistress, an international
       manhunt, a sensational trial, and an inquiry into the 
       limits of hypnotic power. In France at the end of the 
       nineteenth century a great debate raged over the question 
       of whether someone could be hypnotically compelled to 
       commit a crime in violation of his or her moral 
       convictions. When Alexandre-Toussaint Gouffe entered a 
       Parisian building at 3 rue Tronson Ducoudray for what he 
       thought would be a delightful assignation with the comely 
       young Gabrielle Bompard, only to be murdered--hanged!--by 
       her and her ruthless companion Michel Eyraud, stuffed in a
       trunk, and dumped on a riverbank near Lyon, that question 
       became the burning center of an inquiry into the guilt or 
       innocence of a woman the French tabloids dubbed "The 
       Little Demon."--|cProvided by publisher.
