Bret Ellis is a writer whose first novel, Less than Zero, catapulted him to international stardom. In the wake of his third novel, American Pyscho, he was vilified mercilessly. In the midst there is the loss of his father and his dissolution in a world of drugs and booze. Now, ten years later, the time has come for Bret to reconnect with his son and his mother and try to have a more sedate life. Unfortunately his newly found family and stability is immediately threatened by a freak sequence of events and a bizarre series of murders that seem all to be connected to Bret. As he struggles to defend his family, his very sanity is called into question. In this chilling tale fantasy and reality combine to create an alternate version of the author's life, one that that is as shocking as it is haunting.

«Twenty-five years on from «Less Than Zero», we pick up again with Clay. In 1985, Bret Easton Ellis shocked, stunned and disturbed with «Less Than Zero», his «extraordinarily accomplished first novel» («New Yorker»), successfully chronicling the frightening consequences of unmitigated hedonism within the ranks of the ethically bereft youth of 80s Los Angeles. Twenty-five years later, Ellis returns to those same characters — to Clay and the band of infamous teenagers whose lives weave sporadically through his — but now, they face an even greater period of disaffection: their own middle age. Clay seems to have moved on — he's become a successful screenwriter — but when he returns from New York to Los Angeles, to help cast his new movie, he's soon drifting through a long-familiar circle. Blair, his vulnerable former girlfriend, is now married to Trent — still a bisexual philanderer — and their Beverly Hills parties attract excessive levels of fame and fortune. Clay's childhood friend Julian is a recovering addict running an ultra-discreet, high-class escort service, and their old dealer Rip, reconstructed and face-lifted nearly beyond recognition, is involved in activities far more sinister than those of his notorious past. After a meeting with a gorgeous but talentless actress determined to win a role in his movie, Clay finds himself connected with Kelly Montrose, a producer whose gruesomely violent death is suddenly very much the talk of the town. As his seemingly endless proclivity for betrayal leads him to be drawn further and further into this ominous case it looks like he will face far more serious consequences than ever before.»

Their voices enfold us as seamlessly as those of DJs heard over a car radio. The characters go to the same schools. They eat at the same restaurants. They have sex with the same boys and girls. They buy from the same dealers. Fusing voices into an intense, impressionistic narrative that blurs genders, generations and even identities, these stories capture the lives of a group of people, connected in the way only people in L.A. can be — suffering from nothing less than the death of the soul. A writer at the peak of his powers... The book takes us from the first to the seventh circles of hell, from Salinger to de Sade. (Will Self). Ellis has the ability to capture modern reality with the ferocity of a collector driving a pin through a social butterfly. (Guardian). The Informers is spare, austere, elegantly designed, telling in detail, coolly ferocious, sardonic in its humor; every vestige of authorial sentiment is expunged. (New York Times).

The centre of the world: 1990s Manhattan. Victor Ward, a model with perfect abs and all the right friends, is seen and photographed everywhere, even in places he hasn't been and with people he doesn't know. On the eve of opening the trendiest nightclub in New York history, he's living with one beautiful model and having an affair with another. Now it's time to move to the next stage. But the future he gets is not the one he had in mind. 'A master stylist with hideously interesting new-fangled manners and the heart of an old-fashioned moralist' Observer 'Gets under the skin of our celebrity culture in a way that is both illuminating and frightening' Daily Telegraph 'Does for the cold, minimal '90s what American Psycho did for the Wall Street greed of the '80s. You name it, he manages to get it all in' Vogue 'Brilliant... He is fast becoming a writer of real American genius' GQ.
