Los Angeles, 1981 ?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.
