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 of 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 affect upon her and how he helped her to overcome her own struggles. The book is presented as "part psychological thriller and part gut-wrenching memoir." (Review from Robert Kolker.)[5]
The book was published by Dey Street Books on January 24, 2017.
