Three short novels make up one story, which passes from the first into the second and is resolved in the third. In 'The Black Woman and the Archer', a woman tells of a love in its death throes, a mosaic of guilt, remorse, doubt, fear and betrayal, always pursuing a love that exists only in the mind. In the middle novel, the same heroine is drawn to two senseless, cruel murders of women, one a century old and one recent, and to the indifference to human life behind them. 'The Net' watches an insect, one of countless victims of themselves, struggling to escape a web that lets them invent a world and themselves.
