The Spider and the Fly
In 1998, Claudia was living in Poughkeepsie, New York, working for The New York Times. She was assigned to cover the murders by Kendall Francois, a serial killer who murdered at least eight women. Claudia spent five years talking with Kendall in a quest to understand what made him tick and why he committed such horrific crimes. The end result is The Spider and the Fly: A Reporter, a Serial Killer, and the Meaning of Murder, a book about Kendall, his effect upon her and how he helped her to overcome her own struggles. Published by Dey Street Books on January 24, 2017, the book is presented as "part psychological thriller and part gut-wrenching memoir." (Review from Robert Kolker.)[5]
