A sensational new novel from the bestselling author of Less Than
Zero and American Psycho that tracks a group of privileged Los
Angeles high school friends as a serial killer strikes across the
city. His first novel in 13 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis
at his inimitable best. LA, 1981. Buckley College in heat.
17-year-old Bret is a senior at the exclusive Buckley prep school
when a new student arrives with a mysterious past. Robert Mallory
is bright, handsome, charismatic, and shielding a secret from Bret
and his friends, even as he becomes a part of their tightly knit
circle. Bret's obsession with Mallory is equalled only by his
increasingly unsettling preoccupation with The Trawler, a serial
killer on the loose who seems to be drawing ever closer to Bret and
his friends, taunting them with grotesque threats and horrific,
sharply local acts of violence. Can he trust his friends - or his
own mind - to make sense of the danger they appear to be in?
Thwarted by the world and by his own innate desires, buffeted by
unhealthy fixations, Bret spirals into paranoia and isolation as
the relationship between The Trawler and Robert Mallory hurtles
inexorably toward a collision. Gripping, sly, suspenseful, deeply
haunting and often darkly funny, The Shards is a mesmerizing fusing
of fact and fiction that brilliantly explores the emotional fabric
of Bret's life at 17 - sex and jealousy, obsession and murderous
rage.
