The Sunday Times Bestseller 'A full-spectrum triumph' Guardian 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.
