FOR RENT: Top two floors of beautifully renovated brownstone, 1300 sq.
ft., 2BR 2BA, eat-in kitchen, one block to parks and playgrounds. No
broker's fee.
Susan and Alex Wendt have found their dream apartment. Sure, the
landlady is a little eccentric. And the elderly handyman drops some
cryptic remarks about the basement. But the rent is so low, it's too
good to pass up. Big mistake.
Susan soon discovers that her new home is crawling with bedbugs... or is
it? She awakens every morning with fresh bites, but neither Alex nor
their daughter Emma has a single welt. An exterminator searches the
property and turns up nothing. The landlady insists her building is
clean. Susan fears she's going mad--until a more sinister explanation
presents itself: she may literally be confronting the bedbug problem
from Hell.
