London, 2010: Icelandic volcanoes have the city in gridlock, banks
topple like dominoes and Brandon Kussgarten has been shot dead by
gunmen in Donald Duck masks. His death draws his twin brother -
shy, bookish Adam - into Brandon's underworld of deceit and
desire.A miniature kingdom sprouts in a Notting Hill tower-block,
LA mansions burn in week-long parties, and in a Baroque hotel suite
a record is being made that could redeem its maker even as it
destroys him. As Adam begins to fall for his brother's shattered
family he finds that to win them for himself he'll have to lose
everything that he holds dear.This intelligent, intriguing and
emotionally-searing tale of fractured identities, narcissism and
ambition questions how being loved for what others think we are
differs from who we are to ourselves.With echoes of Performance,
The Talented Mr Ripley and Mulholland Drive, The Ruins delves into
the dark heart of fame: magic, music and murder.
