His first novel in 12 years, The Shards is Bret Easton Ellis at his inimitable best.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLos 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaperback\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBret Easton Ellis\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e608 pages\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eH: 234mm W: 153mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight: 810 grams\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Swift Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42467092201622,"sku":"9781800752450","price":36.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/4978\/0118\/products\/jacket---2023-02-14T160921-244.jpg?v=1676344221","url":"https:\/\/www.tawabooksandpost.co.nz\/products\/the-shards","provider":"Tawa Books \u0026 Post","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
